Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that my testicles were of uneven size, and one seemed to be lower than the other. When I touched them, I felt that the veins were particularly prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicles. I would like to ask: What are the most effective treatments for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause local heaviness, dull pain, and discomfort. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support belt can be used. For more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment may be necessary, with minimally invasive surgery being the current preferred approach. Avoid prolonged standing or walking. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical attention promptly, with treatment decisions based on thorough examination results. It is also important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
