Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How can varicocele be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
If it is bilateral varicocele, the specific situation needs to be considered. Mild cases can be treated conservatively. Avoid prolonged sitting and exposure to cold. Varicocele primarily interferes with semen, leading to infertility. If infertility recurs, surgical treatment is the best option. Surgery can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which are relatively less traumatic and have a faster recovery. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
