Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, male, and recently my company organized a physical examination. I was found to have varicocele, and I am very worried. Could you please tell me what is the best treatment method for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Light symptoms and individuals without spermatogenesis dysfunction do not require treatment. For those with more severe symptoms or who develop testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction, surgical treatment is necessary. The methods include high ligation of the internal spermatic vein and anastomosis of the internal spermatic vein with the internal iliac vein. If complications occur after surgery, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and embolization of the internal spermatic vein can be performed.During treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
