Patient's question:
I have had varicocele for many years. Actually, it hasn't caused much discomfort, and since I already have children, I haven't paid much attention to it. However, recently the pain has been getting worse, sometimes even keeping me awake at night. It has seriously affected my normal life and work, and I am very troubled.Question: Does varicocele need to be treated?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is important to pay attention to proper exercise on a daily basis and avoid sitting for long periods. Be mindful not to have frequent sexual activity or engage in sexual life. Avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy, irritating foods. It is recommended to undergo surgery for timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and to avoid frequent relapses if symptoms are not properly managed, which may require long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
