Patient's question:
I am really suffering. I have varicocele for many years, and have tried many methods without success. Now I feel that my testicles are starting to atrophy, and the pain is becoming increasingly unbearable. If this continues, my later life will be ruined. It's truly too painful. Please ask: What methods are effective for treating varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a condition where the return of spermatic veins is obstructed or the valves fail, causing blood to pool, leading to the expansion and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus. It is more common in young and middle-aged men, with a higher incidence rate on the left side. Those with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band. Men with severe symptoms and infertility due to varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm should undergo surgical treatment. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the spermatic veins. It is recommended to identify the underlying cause and provide targeted treatment. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and recurrence is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and a light diet are essential. Patients should avoid stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover quickly.
