Patient's question:
It seems like I might have varicocele. I feel that one of my testicles is higher than the other, and it hurts a lot. The pain can even be felt when I walk. Due to work reasons, I have to walk a lot every day, which really brings me a lot of suffering. Please ask: How is it best to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a condition where venous blood flow obstruction occurs in the spermatic cord, leading to blood stasis due to valve failure and retrograde blood flow. This results in the expansion, elongation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus. The treatment of varicocele primarily involves surgical intervention, such as high ligation of the internal spermatic veins. Traditional Chinese medicine is not very effective for patients with varicocele. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
