Patient's question:
I am 33 years old, and I feel pain in my lower abdomen and testicles. I also feel very bloated. The symptoms worsen after sitting or standing for a long time. Please ask: How is left varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is classified into three degrees. In mild cases, the dilated veins are not palpable locally, and the patient only feels discomfort. In moderate cases, the dilated veins can be felt when the patient stands, but they are not visible externally. In severe cases, dilated veins in the scrotum appear like worms or clusters.Treatment for varicocele: Mild cases can be managed conservatively, such as through rest, wearing tight-fitting underwear, and increasing physical activity. Moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, require surgery.
