How to self-examine varicocele?
Among many infertile male patients, varicocele is one of the causes of infertility, and many men suffer from it. I don’t know what the symptoms are after suffering from varicocele. Can I make a preliminary diagnosis by myself? Although the symptoms of varicocele are not very obvious, patients can do self-examination first. The following is the self-examination method. Friends can learn about it:
Varicocele is divided into three grades: mild, moderate and severe. If a man cannot see the varicose veins after holding his breath when standing, but can feel the venous mass, it is a minor condition. Usually, the varicose veins will disappear when lying down. If a man can see and feel the vein mass when he is standing, but the mass gradually disappears when he lies down, this is a moderate condition. If a man can see obvious veins with the naked eye, and can feel obvious vermiform veins by touching the scrotum with his hands, then this is a symptom of severe varicocele, even if the patient is lying down. Disappeared very slowly.
On weekdays, male friends can do regular self-examination at home to see whether the scrotum is at the same height when standing, whether there is a vermiform vein group on the scrotal wall, if a meridian vein group can be seen and one side of the scrotum is low On the opposite side, a preliminary diagnosis of varicocele can be made. At this time, you need to see a doctor in time for further examination. If the diagnosis is confirmed, actively cooperate with the treatment.
