Patient's question:
My husband has recently felt swelling in the testicular area. Friends mentioned 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. If a man suffers from varicocele, it may lead to infertility. 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 prolonged standing under heavy loads. While cotton underwear is breathable, it tends to stay damp, and prolonged contact with wet clothing can easily cause skin irritation, redness, swelling, and eczema. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
