Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the blood vessels were very prominent, almost like earthworms tangled inside the testicle. Please ask: How can varicocele be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele, individuals with no symptoms or mild symptoms can use a scrotal support band, wear briefs with a fly, or directly use a scrotal lift. The symptoms will then disappear. For those with more severe symptoms, surgical treatment should be considered. Varicocele interferes with fertility because it affects sperm quality, leading to male infertility. Daily attention to a healthy diet, hygiene habits, quitting smoking and alcohol, and maintaining appropriate activity can help restore normalcy. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately!
