Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of uneven height. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: What should be done to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, having hydrocele of the spermatic cord may cause discomfort or pain in the testicle. It is recommended that you try to minimize prolonged standing as much as possible and seek surgical treatment at the urology department of the hospital to prevent the symptoms from persisting. Pay attention to eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. Hydrocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
