A "bag of worms" sensation or dull ache in the scrotum may indicate a varicocele – enlarged veins in the scrotum, similar to varicose veins. While often benign, varicoceles can cause discomfort, pain, and sometimes affect male fertility. Understanding this condition is key to seeking appropriate care.
At Menscape Clinic in Bangkok, our experienced urology specialists provide comprehensive diagnostics and advanced varicocele treatment options. We offer discreet, compassionate, and effective care to improve your comfort and reproductive health.
Understanding Varicocele & Its Symptoms
A varicocele is an enlargement of veins within the scrotum, common in about 15% of males. It typically results from faulty vein valves, causing blood to pool. This can lead to increased scrotal temperature and impaired waste removal, potentially affecting sperm production.
Common Symptoms:
- Dull, aching scrotal pain, often worsening with standing or exertion.
- Feeling of heaviness or "bag of worms" in the scrotum.
- Testicular atrophy (smaller testicle).
- Fertility issues due to impaired sperm quality.
Accurate diagnosis is vital for effective varicocele treatment. Our process involves:
- Physical Exam: Our urologist will examine the scrotum, often while you perform a Valsalva maneuver (bearing down) to make veins more prominent.
- Scrotal Ultrasound: This is the primary diagnostic tool. It provides detailed images to confirm enlarged veins, measure their size, and detect blood reflux. A 2024 review in Andrology highlights ultrasound's role in guiding management.
- Semen Analysis: Performed if fertility is a concern, to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- Hormone Testing: Blood tests to assess testicular function and hormone levels.
These steps ensure a precise understanding of your condition.
Effective Varicocele Treatment Options
Not all varicoceles require treatment. If symptoms or fertility issues are present, Menscape Clinic offers:
- Observation: For asymptomatic cases without fertility impact, monitoring with pain relievers and supportive underwear may suffice.
- Varicocele Embolization: A minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure. A catheter is guided to the affected veins, and coils or a sclerosing solution block them, redirecting blood flow. Benefits include faster recovery and no scrotal incision.
- Surgical Ligation (Varicocelectomy): The definitive surgical repair. A urological surgeon ties off enlarged veins through a small incision (open, laparoscopic, or microsurgical). Microsurgical varicocelectomy is often preferred for precision and lower complication rates. Benefits include effective elimination of varicocele and improved semen parameters.
Our urologists will discuss each varicocele treatment option, explaining benefits, risks, and recovery, to help you make an informed decision.
