Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of pain in my testicles, and after going 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?Please ask: How should varicocele be treated effectively?
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele often recurs in young and middle-aged adults. For those without obvious symptoms, a scrotal support band can be used to slow the progression of the condition. Surgical treatment should be implemented for those with significant symptoms or abnormal sperm, especially for those with fertility requirements. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
