Patient's question:
I have had varicocele ligation surgery for over a year. Three months after the surgery, the check-up showed good recovery. After that, I frequently masturbated, and now sometimes I have some pain in the spermatic cord. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, treatment for varicocele. Mild cases can be treated conservatively, 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, must undergo surgery. This is because varicocele obstructs blood, causing circulatory disorders in the testes, impairing their normal sperm production and secretion functions. Over time, this can lead to testicular atrophy and loss of all functions. Cultivate healthy lifestyle habits, pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain a positive mental state, and seek timely treatment to avoid missing the optimal window for treatment.
