Patient's question:
A few days ago, I felt swelling in my scrotum with persistent local pain. It hurts more when I stand for a long time. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was varicocele. I would like to ask how this condition can be treated?Doctor's answer:
Individuals with no symptoms or mild symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band. For men with severe symptoms and varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment should be performed. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the internal spermatic vein. I'm not sure about your specific condition, so I recommend you come to our Maternal and Child Plastic Surgery Department for a follow-up examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment for varicocele. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on careful examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
