Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that my testicles were of uneven size, and one seemed to be lower than the other. When I touched it, the veins appeared to be particularly prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: If I have varicocele, what is the best way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be varicocele. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support bandage can be used. For more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment is recommended, with minimally invasive surgery being the current preferred approach. Rest and avoid overexertion. Avoid prolonged standing or walking. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
