Patient's question:
Patient is male, 42 years old, diagnosed with varicocele during the recent examination. He wants to consult about how to treat varicocele effectively.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by venous reflux obstruction in the spermatic cord, where venous valve failure leads to blood backflow and blood stasis, resulting 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. The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine is not very ideal. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
