Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing persistent or intermittent dull, aching, and dull pain in the scrotum, which can radiate to the lower abdomen. After examination, it was found to be varicocele. How should I treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common swelling in the scrotum. This condition can interfere with male sexual function and sperm quality. It is generally associated with factors such as frequent high-temperature training and inflammatory infections in men. Treatment methods include medication and surgery. If the degree of varicocele does not affect sperm quality, conservative treatment can be performed. If sperm quality has already been compromised, early treatment must be implemented. In daily life, rest should be maintained, avoiding high-temperature training conditions, and refraining from smoking and drinking beer. Patients should also avoid wearing tight clothing.During the treatment of male diseases, in addition to immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must maintain a light diet.
