Patient's question:
I have varicocele for a while now, and the symptoms have been getting worse recently. I also feel pain in the groin area, and the testicles feel like there are worms coiled on them. I heard this condition can affect fertility. I've been married for over a year and I'm really worried. Could you please tell me: what should I do if I have varicocele?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele, it is necessary to determine whether treatment is needed based on symptoms and how they affect sperm quality. Generally, medication is not very effective. It is recommended to consult if you are trying to conceive to see if surgical treatment is necessary. You can consider strict treatment, wear tight-fitting underwear, apply local cold compresses, and take Diosmin to reduce symptoms. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
