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? Could you please tell me the specific diagnostic methods for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in males can interfere with male fertility and cause a sense of heaviness, fullness, and pain during prolonged standing or exertion. Surgical treatment should be implemented promptly. It is recommended that you follow up promptly to assess the severity of your condition and determine the appropriate treatment. Pay attention to hygiene of the penis, engage in appropriate activity, and avoid overexertion. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment and maintain a regular sexual life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
