Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently, experiencing pain in my testicular scrotum. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor told me I have varicocele. How should I treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in men can interfere with fertility and cause a sense of heaviness, fullness, and pain during prolonged standing or strenuous activity. Surgical treatment should be implemented promptly. It is recommended that you follow up in a timely manner to assess the severity of your condition and determine the appropriate treatment. Pay attention to hygiene of the penis, engage in appropriate activity, and avoid overexertion. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, maintain personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
