Patient's question:
45 male. Suffering from varicocele for many years, in fact, it has never caused much symptoms. Moreover, since he already has children, he hasn't paid much attention to it. However, in recent days, the pain has been getting worse, sometimes even preventing him from sleeping at night, severely affecting his normal life and work, causing him great distress. Please ask: What are the methods hospitals use to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can be treated with medication or surgery. Varicocele primarily affects the function of the testes. It can cause the temperature of the testes to become too high, increase sperm mortality, disrupt sperm quantity and thus impair fertility. In severe cases, it can affect sexual function, leading to disruptions in sexual life. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended. We generally advise surgical treatment.
