Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of pain in my testicles, and after going to the hospital for a check-up, it was diagnosed as varicocele. I didn't do anything wrong, so how did I get this condition? And it's said to affect fertility, but I'm not even married yet. What should I do?Please ask: How is varicocele best treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. If a patient with varicocele experiences only mild discomfort, medication control or scrotal support can be adopted. If the pain is severe or there are concerns about infertility, high ligation surgery should be performed. Rest regularly, maintain a regular lifestyle, keep a positive mood, and prevent fatigue. Avoid excessive exercise. Control sexual activity or intercourse; abstain from alcohol, wine, and spicy foods. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment in professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
