How is varicocele best treated?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How is the best treatment for varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

The varicocele is generally well-healed after surgery as long as the incision does not become infected, and the results are relatively accurate. Red light therapy does not have a significant or proven effect. It is recommended that patients change dressings promptly after surgery. Personally, I do not advocate for red light therapy, as it lacks proven efficacy. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
