Patient's question:
I am 20 years old this year, and I just returned from the military. It's possible that I got varicocele from standing guard during my military service. My family has introduced me to a partner now and wants me to get married and have children as soon as possible. However, my condition hasn't been fully treated yet, and I am very distressed. Please ask: What methods can be used to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by venous valve insufficiency, leading to poor blood flow and blood stasis, which results in aching in the local scrotum and decreased sperm quality. Mild varicocele can generally be relieved with medication, while moderate to severe varicocele requires surgical treatment. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
