Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of different heights. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: What are the effects of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned can interfere with fertility because varicocele disrupts the low-temperature environment of the testes, which is beneficial for sperm production. Therefore, varicocele should be treated strictly in its early stages, and surgical treatment is necessary in the middle and late stages. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
