Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with varicocele. I would like to know, what is the treatment for 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 exposure to high temperatures and inflammatory infections. 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 work conditions, smoking, and drinking beer. Tight clothing should also be avoided.
