Patient's question:
I think I might have varicocele. I feel that one of my testicles is higher than the other, and it's extremely painful. I can even feel the pain when I walk. Due to work reasons, I have to walk a lot every day, which has really brought me a lot of suffering. Please ask: How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is one of the common and frequently occurring diseases in men. Its cause may be related to congenital developmental abnormalities of the spermatic veins. If the varicocele is not severe and there are no discomfort symptoms in daily life, treatment may not be necessary. However, if the varicocele is significant, it may interfere with sexual quality of life or lead to infertility, and surgical treatment is recommended. Avoid strenuous exercise, prevent excessive bending of the scrotum, and refrain from sexual intercourse. Go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to confirm the degree of varicocele, so that early treatment can be initiated. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
