Patient's question:
I've been feeling lower abdominal pain and testicular pain all week, and I also feel very bloated. The symptoms get worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Since it's a private area, I feel embarrassed going to the hospital. I suspect it might be varicocele. Could you please tell me what are the best treatments for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
From the symptoms you are showing, it is possible that you may have varicocele or epididymitis. Both conditions can present with similar symptoms and may affect fertility. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital to have an ultrasound examination of your testicles, spermatic cord, and epididymis to determine the issue. If it is epididymitis, it can be resolved with anti-inflammatory treatment. If it is varicocele, surgical treatment will be necessary. Medication can only alleviate symptoms. Wishing you good health. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, take medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
