Patient's question:
I am 20 years old and just returned from the military. I might have developed varicocele from standing guard during my service. My family has introduced me to a partner and I want to get married and have children as soon as possible. However, my condition hasn't been fully treated yet, which is causing me great distress. Please advise: How can varicocele be effectively treated after diagnosis?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in men can interfere with male fertility and cause a sense of heaviness and pain when standing for long periods or engaging in strenuous labor. Surgical treatment should be promptly implemented. It is recommended that you follow up promptly to assess the severity of your condition and determine the appropriate treatment. Pay attention to hygiene of the penis, engage in appropriate activity, and avoid overexertion. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
