Patient's question:
It seems like I might have varicocele. I feel that one of my testicles is higher than the other, and it's extremely painful. I can even feel the pain when I walk. Due to work reasons, I have to walk a lot every day, which really brings me a lot of suffering. Please ask: How can varicocele be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is important to pay attention to appropriate exercise on a daily basis and avoid sitting for long periods. Be mindful not to engage in frequent sexual activity or intercourse, and avoid drinking beer. Also, refrain from consuming spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended that surgery be performed promptly to treat the condition, as delaying treatment may easily worsen varicocele and lead to frequent recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
