Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is much 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, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What are the methods for treating varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative complications of varicocele surgery may occur, so pay attention to wearing supportive underwear for the scrotum in the early stages after surgery to prevent prolonged sitting or overexertion. Although complications may occur, if varicocele has already affected sperm quality, surgical treatment is still recommended. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and maintain a regular sexual life in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
