Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were very prominent, like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What should I do if I have advanced varicocele?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele or accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotum, cold compress, etc. Surgical treatment: For severe varicocele, sperm count continuously three times below 20 million, or testicular atrophy; when lying flat, the dilated veins can disappear, inguinal vein can be performed. Varicocele is prone to cause infertility. Pay attention not to stand or sit for a long time in daily life, do not exercise vigorously frequently. Do not smoke, drink less beer, and do not eat spicy and stimulating food, etc. In summer, avoid cold and hot water stimulation. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
