Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling lower abdominal pain and testicular pain, and I also feel very bloated. The symptoms get worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Since it's a private part, I feel embarrassed to go to the hospital. I suspect it might be varicocele. Please ask: How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your age and the description of your condition, you currently have bilateral varicocele. It is unclear whether you are experiencing any discomfort such as scrotal swelling or pain. It is recommended to follow up at a qualified hospital's general surgery outpatient department, combining actual symptoms for a comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis. If the symptoms are significant, surgical treatment should be considered. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
