Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt severe pain in my testicles and went to the hospital for a check-up. The diagnosis was varicocele. I didn't do anything wrong, so how did I get this condition? And it's said to affect fertility, but I'm not even married yet. What should I do?Question: What is the best treatment for varicocele?
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in males can lead to the recurrence of infertility and requires active treatment. There are medication-based and surgical treatments available, but surgical treatment tends to be more effective. Timely follow-up is necessary. It is recommended that you follow up promptly and consider which treatment method is suitable for your specific condition, avoiding treatment. Avoid prolonged standing, sitting, or overexertion. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining personal hygiene, and finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
