Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How is it better to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause local heaviness, dull pain, and discomfort. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support belt can be used. For more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment may be necessary, with minimally invasive surgery being commonly adopted currently. Avoid prolonged standing or walking for extended periods. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoiding overexertion and paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
