Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am only 24 years old this year. I don't have any excessive masturbation habits, but how could I get varicocele? How should I treat moderate varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The treatment for varicocele can be conservative for mild cases, which involves rest, wearing tight underwear, reducing strenuous exercise, and appropriately using blood-activating medications. However, moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, require surgery. This is because varicocele obstructs blood, leading to impaired blood circulation in the testicles, which disrupts their normal sperm production and secretion functions. Over time, this can result in testicular atrophy and loss of function. It is recommended to follow medical advice for treatment.
