Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: How can varicocele be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele disease can interfere with sperm viability, leading to infertility. Varicocele is more common on the left side. A careful ultrasound examination reveals significant expansion of the spermatic veins (2.6 cm). It cannot heal on its own. Many people have been cured of infertility through surgery. Varicocele cannot heal on its own, so it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
