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 area, I feel embarrassed going to the hospital. I suspect it might be varicocele. Could you please tell me: How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Varicose veins are the most common disease of the venous system, with the main cause being congenitally weak vessel wall membranes or prolonged maintenance of the same posture with little change. Accumulation of blood in the lower limbs, over time, can damage venous valves and lead to high venous pressure, which is a symptom of weak vessel skin. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
