Patient's question:
I am really suffering. I have varicocele for many years, and have tried many methods without success. Now I feel that my testicles are starting to atrophy, and the pain is getting more and more unbearable. If this continues, my later life will be ruined. It's truly too painful. Please ask: What are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is primarily caused by the expansion, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus of veins in the spermatic cord. Mild inflammation may be asymptomatic, while severe cases can lead to scrotal swelling and a sensation of heaviness, especially if standing for prolonged periods, engaging in excessive physical activity, or performing heavy labor.Treatment for varicocele should be tailored to the individual's condition. If there are no symptoms and fertility is not affected, no intervention may be necessary, or elastic stockings and scrotal supports can be used. In cases with more severe symptoms and secondary sperm abnormalities leading to infertility, surgical treatment is required.
Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with balanced diet are essential during treatment. We hope that male patients can recover quickly.
