Patient's question:
I am really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of pain in my testicles and went to the hospital for a check-up. It was diagnosed as varicocele. I haven't done 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?How should varicocele be treated for the best outcome?
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by venous valve developmental abnormalities or inflammation, leading to poor venous return, resulting in the filling, tortuosity, and expansion of venous vessels, so medication cannot resolve it. Varicocele gradually expands, showing a trend of relief, and it is recommended to undergo surgery as early as possible because varicocele can interfere with sperm quality, causing infertility in patients. Patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, develop the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, drink more water, etc. Additionally, when deciding on a hospital for treatment, it is essential to choose a professional urological hospital for treatment. Do not hesitate due to embarrassment, delay the condition, and miss the best treatment window. Varicocele can be stabilized.
