Patient's question:
Testis has a feeling of dropping - upon examination, it was found that there is varicocele on the left side. What are the principles of treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Mild cases may be asymptomatic, while severe cases present with scrotal swelling, a heavy and distended sensation, dull pain, and difficulty walking or standing. Prolonged relief can be achieved by lying down and resting. Asymptomatic or mild cases do not require treatment and can be managed with scrotal support or wearing tight-fitting underwear. Severe cases accompanied by abnormal sperm should undergo surgery. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
