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 testicle feels like there are worms coiled on it when touched. I heard this condition can affect fertility. I've been married for over a year, and I'm really worried. Please ask: How should I treat varicocele after it develops?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is more common on the left side and forms an almost 90° angle with the left spermatic vein draining into the left renal vein. In most cases, it does not require treatment, but surgery is recommended in the following two situations:1. Obvious symptoms: A feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the scrotum.
2. Infertility: Spermatogenic dysfunction caused by varicocele.
Although varicocele may not be the sole cause of infertility, it is at least a high-risk factor. It is recommended to start treatment with Tong Su Shu Mai Fang as early as possible. This herbal formula provides warming, dispels cold, and promotes Qi flow to prevent high-altitude induced abortion.
