Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently, experiencing pain in my scrotum. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor told me I have varicocele. What should I do after being diagnosed with varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The surgical methods include traditional open surgery (common approaches include retroperitoneal approach and inguinal approach), microsurgery, laparoscopic surgery, and embolization, among others. Non-surgical methods include drug therapy, psychological intervention, scrotal suspension, cooling therapy, dietary adjustments, etc. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
