Varicocele Diagnosed? What are the natural treatment options for Varicocele?
Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
In order to diagnose Varicocele, the treating physician will first conduct a detailed physical examination to look for presence of some mass above the testicle. If the Varicocele is large then the treating physician will be able to palpate. In case if an individual has a small Varicocele, then the physician may perform a Valsalva maneuver to feel the Varicocele.
In case the physical examination does not confirm the diagnosis, the physician may then recommend a scrotal ultrasound to look for the inflow and outflow of blood to and from the testicles and see if there is any change. In some cases imaging studies may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis of Varicocele.
