Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was told that I have epididymitis. It was also discovered that I have varicocele. How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is the abnormal dilatation, elongation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord. It affects approximately 40% of infertile men. Varicocele can be diagnosed through a physical examination and MRI. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a comprehensive check-up to confirm the severity of the disease and receive symptomatic treatment. We hope this can help you, thank you. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
