Patient's question:
My husband has recently felt swelling in the testicular area. Friends told me that this symptom could be varicocele. I'm a bit worried. What should be done if someone has varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Penile appearance is short, causing a sense of inferiority. As long as the erection is not shorter than four centimeters, sexual life is completely unaffected. Varicocele, mild with no clinical manifestations, or abnormal semen requires surgical treatment. If there are no symptoms, it can be carefully observed and treated. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment in a hospital and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
