Patient's question:
49 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 become increasingly severe, sometimes even preventing him from sleeping at night. It has seriously affected his normal life and work, causing him great distress. Please ask: How should varicocele be treated appropriately?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele with no symptoms or mild symptoms, only a scrotal support band or tight-fitting underwear can be used. If varicocele recurs, causing symptoms such as a heavy or aching sensation in the testicles, improved semen quality, increased testicular volume, which indirectly leads to higher testosterone excretion and interferes with sexual function, surgical treatment should be considered as early as possible. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery.
