Patient's question:
Left varicocele 2mm, pain in left scrotum after masturbation, slight soreness in left thigh. Can I take Sutent?Doctor's answer:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment. Mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia can be treated with scrotal support and cold compresses. In more severe cases of varicocele, or when testicular atrophy is present; if the dilated veins disappear when lying down, varicocelectomy (high ligation of internal spermatic vein) can be performed. The testis is an important male reproductive gland. If there are issues with the testis, it will directly affect future fertility and sexual function. It is recommended that you actively seek medical attention for a testicular ultrasound and other relevant examinations to receive timely symptomatic treatment. Maintain good local hygiene, drink plenty of water, and avoid masturbation.
