Patient's question:
42 male. Suffering from varicocele for many years, in fact, it has never caused much discomfort. 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: What are the treatment methods for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Methods for treating varicocele mainly fall into three categories. The first is drug treatment. Currently, many traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are commonly used, such as Maitingling, which primarily stabilizes the function of many venous valves. In addition, according to many TCM practitioners, using TCMs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis can stabilize the venous blood circulation. The second method is surgical treatment, which can be adopted when the effect of drug treatment is not significant. Surgery can be either open surgery.
