Patient's question:
I have had varicocele for a while, and the symptoms have become increasingly severe recently. I also feel pain in the groin area, and the testicles feel like there are worms coiled on them when touched. 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 to receive treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
You have varicocele on the left side, which is often a pathological phenomenon caused by the dilatation, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus due to various reasons leading to poor blood flow. For mild varicocele, conservative treatments such as reporting to the scrotum and cold compresses are recommended. For severe varicocele, surgical treatment such as high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
