Patient's question:
My husband recently felt swelling in the testicular area. He heard from friends that this symptom could be varicocele. I'm a bit worried. What are the treatment methods for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common urological disease in men. If a man suffers from varicocele, it may lead to infertility again. This is mainly because the disease can affect the motility of sperm and may also result in abnormal sperm, which can then cause male infertility. It is recommended to seek professional treatment at a regular hospital. Avoid standing for long periods with heavy loads. Although cotton underwear is breathable, it doesn't dry easily. Prolonged contact with wet clothing can easily cause skin itching, redness, swelling, and eczema. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
