Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling pain in my lower abdomen and testicles, and I've also felt very bloated. The symptoms get worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Since it's a private area, I feel embarrassed going to the hospital. I suspect it might be varicocele. Please ask: How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Varicose veins are the most common disease of the venous system, with the main cause being congenital weakness of the vascular wall membrane or prolonged maintenance of the same posture with little change. Accumulation of blood in the lower limbs, over time, destroys venous valves, leading to high venous pressure, which is a symptom of vascular weakness on the skin surface. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
