Patient's question:
I've been feeling lower abdominal pain and testicular pain all week, and I also feel very bloated. The symptoms get worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Since it's a private part, I feel embarrassed going to the hospital. I think it might be varicocele. Please ask: How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in men can interfere with male fertility and cause a sense of heaviness, fullness, and pain when standing for long periods or engaging in strenuous physical activity. Surgical treatment should be implemented promptly. It is recommended that you follow up promptly to assess the severity of your condition and determine the appropriate treatment. Pay attention to maintaining hygiene of the penis, engage in appropriate activity, and avoid overexertion. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication may be necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity, maintaining a positive mood, and finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
