Patient's question:
I am 31 years old. I feel lower abdominal pain, and my testicles also hurt. I feel very bloated, especially when sitting or standing for a long time, the symptoms become more severe. Please ask: What should I do if I have varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can be treated with medication or surgery. Varicocele primarily affects the function of the testicles. It can cause the temperature of the testicles to become too high, leading to an increase in sperm mortality and affecting sperm quantity, thereby impacting fertility. In severe cases, it can affect sexual function, consequently influencing sexual activity. Therefore, surgical treatment is often recommended.We generally advise surgical treatment. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced diet to nourish their bodies, engage in regular aerobic exercise to stay fit, and keep a positive mood to strengthen their physical health. Good lifestyle habits can also help in preventing diseases.
