Patient's question:
I have varicocele for a while now, and the symptoms have been getting worse recently. I also feel pain in the groin area, and when I touch my testicles, they feel like there are worms coiled on them. I've heard that this condition can affect fertility. I've been married for over a year, and I'm really worried. Could you please tell me: How can varicocele be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, varicocele is a relatively common disease in men, often causing lower abdominal pain. It is caused by the curvature of the spermatic vein leading to poor blood flow. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily focuses on conditioning, and its effects are generally not very significant. I suggest you don't get too anxious or worried. What matters most is health maintenance. Generally, pay attention to avoiding prolonged standing, regularly using cold water to wash the testicles, and wearing elastic underwear, which can help alleviate the condition. If it doesn't improve, surgery may need to be performed for treatment. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, so long-term medication may be necessary.
