What kind of help do you want: Answers from professional doctors

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is a common male urogenital system disease caused by the abnormal dilation and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord. It often leads to perineal pain and discomfort and is associated with male infertility. Based on your condition, you are relatively young and the symptoms are not prominent, but it is still recommended that you visit a urology or andrology department for consultation. Color Doppler ultrasound examination is advisable, and you may also consider tests for sperm quality and sexual hormones to identify potential causes of varicocele, determining whether it is primary or secondary. Then, a comprehensive analysis should be conducted to decide whether medication or surgery is more appropriate. Of course, you can also try wearing tight-fitting underwear. It is suggested not to worry too much, as research indicates that combined surgical and medical treatment can achieve good results.
