  5. I've been dealing with a scrotum infection for the past two years. The veins there have swollen and become painful, especially during intimate moments or activities. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and what should I try next?

According to symptoms this is a case of varicocele.There are no drugs to treat or prevent varicoceles. But pain killers (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) may help with pain. When needed, surgery is the main form of treatment. Embolization (briefly blocking the veins) is a non-surgical treatment option
