Patient's question:
I am 24 years old and have just returned from the military. It's possible that I developed varicocele from standing guard during my service. My family has introduced me to a partner and I want to get married and have children as soon as possible. However, my condition hasn't been fully treated yet, which is causing me great distress. Could you please answer: Can varicocele caused by unknown reasons be cured?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a pathological condition where the pampiniform plexus of veins fails to drain properly, leading to local venous expansion, tortuosity, and elongation. It is recommended to report symptoms such as scrotal discomfort and apply cold compresses. In more severe cases of varicocele, surgical ligation of the high spermatic vein can be performed. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. It is also important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
