Patient's question:
I have varicocele for a while now, and the symptoms have been getting worse recently. I also feel pain in the groin area, and the testicles feel like there are worms coiled on them when touched. I heard this condition can affect fertility. I've been married for over a year and I'm really worried. Could you please tell me what to do after discovering varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele often recurs in young and middle-aged adults. For those without obvious symptoms, a scrotal support band can be used to slow the progression of the condition. Surgical treatment should be considered for those with significant symptoms or abnormal sperm, especially for those with fertility requirements. Varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication management. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical diagnosis immediately and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
