Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of 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: How is varicocele diagnosed?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you have just finished surgery, and you cannot smoke, drink beer, or eat spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended to wait at least one month before smoking. Pay attention to rest, maintain good personal hygiene, follow a light and easily digestible diet, and prevent wound infection. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
