Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of uneven height. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in males can lead to the recurrence of infertility and requires active treatment. There are medication-based and surgical treatments available, but surgical treatment tends to be more effective. Regular follow-up appointments are necessary. It is recommended that you attend follow-up appointments promptly and choose the treatment method that best suits your individual circumstances, avoiding (blind treatment). Avoid prolonged standing, sitting, or overexertion. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, so long-term medication may be required. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
