Patient's question:
I noticed that one of my testicles is larger than the other and seems to be lower on one side when I was taking a shower. When I touched it, I felt that the veins seemed to be very prominent, like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: How to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for varicose veins is effective, and there are many cases to support this. The specific efficacy depends on individual circumstances, but most treatments yield positive results. The key to TCM lies in accurate differentiation of symptoms, and once this is achieved, the effectiveness improves.It is recommended to seek treatment at a local, reputable hospital, preferably one with a TCM urology department. If such a department is unavailable, a TCM department can be an alternative. Physical therapies, acupuncture, and other treatments can also be used in conjunction.
Varicocele often recurs, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to consult a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered only after thorough examination results are obtained. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
