Patient's question:
Recently, I've been planning to have a child, and I've been experiencing a sensation of heaviness in my testicles. Upon investigation, I found out that I have varicocele on the left side. What methods are used to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
There may be complications after varicocele surgery, so it's important to wear supportive underwear for the scrotum in the early stages after surgery to prevent prolonged sitting or overexertion. Although complications may occur, if varicocele has already affected sperm quality, surgical treatment is still recommended. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients need to maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
