Patient's question:
I had laparoscopic surgery a few days ago, but now my testicles are at different heights. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is the abnormal elongation, dilation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord. It is more common on the left side.Symptoms: A heavy, distended sensation in the scrotum, dull pain that worsens when standing or walking and improves when lying down. In mild cases, the testicle can be supported with a triangular bandage. Heat application and local massage are commonly used. Oral medications such as Maslinic Acid, Eucommia ulmoides tablets, Okai, and Furui can be prescribed. Surgical treatment may be considered if symptoms are severe and accompanied by abnormal semen parameters.
