Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt severe pain in my testicles and went to the hospital for a check-up. They diagnosed it as varicocele. I didn't do anything wrong, so how did I get this condition? And it's said to affect fertility, but I'm not even married yet. What should I do?Question: Which hospital is better for treating varicocele?
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a vascular swelling of the scrotum formed by the expansion and elongation of the pampiniform plexus of veins. It occurs in 95% of cases on the left side, with fewer cases on the right. It is one of the most common scrotal masses in young men and is also a significant cause of male infertility. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as scrotal cold packs may be reported. Severe varicocele patients still need to consider active treatment, including surgery. It is recommended that you choose a formal and professional hospital for further examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary restrictions, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, drinking more water, exercising regularly, and maintaining a cheerful mood. These practices play an important role in the recovery of the condition.
