Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles was much larger than the other, and it seemed to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What are the common treatments for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated expansion of veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous return. It is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults, characterized by the dilatation, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus of veins in the spermatic cord caused by venous stasis. This condition should be treated early.The treatment methods for varicocele vary depending on individual conditions and symptoms. It is essential to identify the root cause, clarify the specific etiology, and provide targeted treatment to avoid missing the optimal time for intervention. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, patients must actively cooperate with their doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
