Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles was much larger than the other, and it seemed 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 foods are good for varicocele patients?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele, not all cases require surgical treatment. For younger individuals who are not yet married and have symptoms, a scrotal support band can be used to lower the scrotum, and the symptoms will disappear. These patients often experience symptom relief after marriage. For more severe symptoms, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed. This surgical approach is considered when there is a high likelihood of adhesions at the original incision site.It is recommended to visit a formal hospital's urology department for a thorough examination and treatment of varicocele, as the condition tends to recur and may require long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek professional and formal medical diagnosis and consider treatment based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
