Patient's question:
I recently noticed that I can vaguely feel a hard lump the size of a peanut in my testicles.Doctor's answer:
According to the, it may be varicocele, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous return. 95% occur on the left side, with bilateral cases being less common. This condition is 95% more likely to occur on the left side. If left untreated, it may lead to infertility. Currently, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein is adopted for treatment, which has achieved good results. It is recommended to visit a formal urological hospital for relevant examinations to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
