Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor:I am 23 years old this year. Recently, while taking a shower, I noticed that the left side of my seminal vesicle is drooping, and there are string-like and small lumps inside, causing pressure pain. After looking it up online, I think it might be varicocele. I remember that this condition appeared about 3 years ago.
I think it's necessary to mention my situation to help you make a definitive diagnosis. Since I have been studying abroad, I have spent very little time with my girlfriend over the past 2-3 years, and we have had very few sexual relations. This condition appeared shortly after we started dating. Starting in October of this year, we have been spending time together.
Doctor's answer:
Still not certain, if you're not reassured, you can go to the urology department. The doctor can make a definitive diagnosis through palpation. Mild varicocele does not require treatment, while severe cases may need surgical intervention.
