Patient's question:
Medical History Description:Problem 1: I have a history of varicocele on the left side, which has been present for about one and a half years. It is currently improving, and I am being treated by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. However, a new issue has emerged—there is a small lump at the tip of the left testicle (let's call it that for now). It is very small, no bigger than a green bean, not very noticeable, and painless when touched but tender when pressed. This spot was recently discovered, and I had not noticed it before. The right testicle surface is smooth. I would like to ask what this could be? (I want to go to the hospital for a check-up to have peace of mind.)
Problem 2: Why doesn't the left testicle rise during ejaculation? The right one rises very significantly during ejaculation, almost sticking to the body. What could be the reason for the lack of elevation? Is it related to varicocele, or is there another cause? Thank you for your help.

Doctor's answer:
Hello. There is a connection. Varicocele is generally asymptomatic. In your case, if there is spasmodic pain and differences in semen discharge, it is necessary to consider early surgical treatment to avoid affecting fertility. Surgery is usually recommended, and it is important to develop good daily habits, avoid prolonged sitting, and wear loose clothing. Avoid tight wrapping for a long time, as it is not conducive to heat dissipation of the reproductive organs.After surgery, due to the change in blood direction, swelling and pain in the testicular area may occur. This is a normal phenomenon. Generally, these symptoms will last for one to two weeks. It is recommended not to be anxious and to actively cooperate with postoperative treatment.
