Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that my testicles were of uneven size, and one seemed to be lower than the other. When I touched them, it felt like the veins were particularly prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicles. I would like to ask: What are the methods available for treating varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative complications of varicocele surgery may occur, so pay attention to wearing supportive underwear for the scrotum in the early stages after surgery to prevent prolonged sitting or overexertion. Although complications may occur, if varicocele has already affected sperm quality, surgical treatment is still recommended. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
