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. But 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 feel very troubled. Please ask: How can people with varicocele be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a symptom that reappears due to the dysfunction or loss of valves in the spermatic veins. For varicocele, surgical treatment is the only effective approach, while conservative treatment has little effect. Similarly, your epididymal cyst also requires surgical treatment. For varicocele, a laparoscopic high ligation of the spermatic vein can be performed, which can also address the epididymal cyst at the same time. Any medication is ineffective. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should undergo timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
