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 said I have varicocele. What should I do about this condition?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele, whether surgery is necessary needs to be determined based on specific clinical diagnostic symptoms and the degree of varicosity. For mild varicocele, conservative treatment can be considered, including cold compresses and the use of scrotal supports for treatment. However, for severe varicosity or cases that interfere with fertility, surgical treatment should be considered. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
