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 different heights. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: What should I do if I have varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele most commonly occurs in young and middle-aged adults. For those without obvious symptoms, a scrotal support can be used to slow the progression of the condition. Surgical treatment should be performed for those with significant symptoms or abnormal sperm, especially for those with fertility requirements. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
