Patient's question:
My husband has recently felt swelling in the testicular area. He heard from friends that this symptom could be varicocele. I am a bit worried. What should we do if he has varicocele?Doctor's answer:
This is mainly dependent on the severity of the condition. If the varicocele is severe and affects sperm quality, surgical treatment should be considered. However, if it does not interfere with sperm quality and is not severe, conservative treatment with careful observation may be sufficient. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
