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, the veins appeared to be very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicles. I would like to ask: What is the most effective treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The severity of varicocele cannot be predicted based on the diameter of the spermatic vein; it must be determined according to clinical diagnostic symptoms. Because varicocele obstructs blood, it triggers circulatory disorders in the testicles, impairing their normal sperm production and excretion functions. Over time, this can lead to testicular swelling and loss of all functionality. Whether surgery is necessary must be confirmed after a thorough examination by the treating physician. Avoid alcohol and stimulating foods. Drink plenty of water and consume fresh vegetables and fruits. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medications appropriately!
