Patient's question:
I have had varicocele for a while, and the symptoms have been getting worse recently. I also feel pain in the groin area, and the testicles feel like there are worms coiled on them. I've heard 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 treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to local heaviness, dull pain, and discomfort. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support band can be used. For more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment may be necessary, with minimally invasive surgery being the current preferred approach. Avoid prolonged standing or walking. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical advice immediately and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to controlling sexual activity and maintaining a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
