Is it easy to treat varicocele?

Patient's question:

I think I might have varicocele. I feel that one of my testicles is higher than the other, and it hurts a lot. I can even feel the pain when I walk. Because of work, I have to walk a lot every day, which has really brought me a lot of suffering. Please ask: Is varicocele easy to treat?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele can cause local heaviness, dull pain, and discomfort. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support belt can be used. For more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment may be necessary, with minimally invasive surgery being the current preferred approach. Avoid prolonged standing or walking. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and we hope male patients can recover quickly.
