Patient's question:
I just returned from the military this year. It's possible that I got varicocele from standing guard during my service. My family has introduced me to a partner and I want to get married and have children as soon as possible. However, my condition hasn't been fully treated yet, and I'm very troubled. Could you please advise on the best way to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is more common in young and middle-aged adults, accounting for 10% to 15% of the male population. It interferes with sperm production and fertility. If there are no symptoms, it is not necessary to be overly strict; if symptoms are significant, surgical treatment is required. Varicocelectomy: Laparoscopic or open surgery should be chosen based on the severity of the condition. Medication and surgical treatment can be used. The specific treatment should be determined according to the patient's condition, the actual conditions of local medical institutions, and the doctor's proficiency in the technique. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
