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. Could you please advise on the best treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the diameter of varicocele is less than 0.2 cm, and a condition of 0.3 cm indicates a relatively severe varicocele. This condition can easily lead to low male sperm survival rates, poor sperm quality, and infertility. If you have this condition, it is recommended to seek examination and treatment as soon as possible. Surgical ligation of the high spermatic vein should be performed. It is also advisable to wear loose underwear and get adequate rest. Wishing you good health.For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can help reduce the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
