Patient's question:
Testis has a feeling of dropping - upon examination, it was found that there is varicocele on the left side. What methods are used to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a condition caused by obstruction of the spermatic vein or failure of the valves, leading to blood pooling and the expansion and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic vein. In asymptomatic varicocele cases, treatment is not necessary. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support band or compression shorts can be used to support the scrotum. Severe cases or those affecting daily life should undergo surgical treatment. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may impact overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
