Patient's question:
It seems like I might have varicocele. I feel that one of my testicles is higher than the other, and it's extremely painful. I can even feel the pain when I walk. Due to work reasons, I have to walk a lot every day, which has really brought me a lot of suffering. Please ask: How is it best to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The severity of varicocele cannot be determined by the diameter of the spermatic vein; it must be based on clinical diagnostic symptoms. Because varicocele obstructs blood, it causes circulatory disorders in the testes, impairing their normal sperm production and excretory functions. Over time, this can lead to testicular swelling and loss of all functions. Whether surgery is necessary must be confirmed after a thorough examination by the treating physician. Avoid alcohol and stimulating foods. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment.
