Patient's question:
Patient is male, 42 years old, diagnosed with varicocele during the recent examination. He wants to consult about the best treatment for varicocele.Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is the dysfunction or absence of valves in the spermatic veins, leading to the primary symptom of a heavy, uncomfortable sensation in the perineum. In some cases, it may also cause testicular atrophy and result in infertility. If you have varicocele, it is advisable to undergo surgical treatment, specifically a laparoscopic high ligation of the spermatic veins. Recovery is quick after the surgery, with minimal pain, and the surgical outcome is also excellent. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process usually takes a long time, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during the treatment.
