Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is much 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: If I have varicocele, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, varicocele is a relatively common disease in men, often causing lower abdominal pain. It is caused by the curvature of the spermatic vein leading to poor blood flow. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily focuses on conditioning, and its effects are generally not very significant. I suggest you don't be too anxious or worried. The key is to pay attention to health care. Generally, it is important to avoid prolonged standing, regularly use cold water to wash the testicles, and wear elastic underwear, which can help alleviate the condition. If it doesn't improve, surgery may be necessary for treatment. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence 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 close attention to personal hygiene. I hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
