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 becoming 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. In mild cases, it may be asymptomatic, while in severe cases, prolonged standing, excessive walking, or heavy physical labor can lead to scrotal swelling and a sensation of heaviness.Treatment for varicocele should be tailored to the individual's condition. If there are no symptoms and no impact on fertility, no intervention may be necessary, or elastic stockings and scrotal supports can be used. When symptoms are severe and have led to secondary sperm abnormalities resulting in infertility, surgical treatment is required.
Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet during treatment are essential. We hope that male patients can recover quickly.
