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 uneven height. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: What is the best way to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The severity of varicocele cannot be determined based on the diameter of the spermatic vein; it must be diagnosed according to clinical symptoms. Because varicocele obstructs blood, it leads to circulatory disorders in the testicles, impairing their normal sperm production and excretory functions. Over time, this can cause the testicles to swell and lose all functionality. Whether surgery is necessary must be confirmed after a thorough examination by the treating physician. Avoid alcohol, wine, and spicy foods. Drink plenty of water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
