Patient's question:
I am 20 years old, and I feel pain in my lower abdomen and testicles. I also feel very full, especially when sitting or standing for a long time. Please ask: How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
For patients with varicocele who have no symptoms or mild symptoms, a scrotal support band or tight-fitting underwear can be used alone. For those with more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment should be performed. After surgery, some patients may regain fertility.Generally, about one week after varicocele surgery, the wound should begin to heal. It may take around 20 days to return to normal activities and resume free movement. The scrotum may still have a slight sensation of fullness or heaviness, so it is important to rest more.
