Patient's question:
My husband has recently felt swelling in the testicular area. He heard from friends that this symptom could be varicocele. I'm a bit worried. How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is primarily caused by congenital venous functional abnormalities. It can also be due to intra-abdominal inflammation that obstructs the flow of spermatic veins. It is recommended that you seek examination and treatment at a formal specialized hospital, achieving early detection and early treatment. Do not miss the best time for treatment. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
