Patient's question:
Recently, I've 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 is left varicocele usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotum and apply cold compresses. For more severe varicocele, where sperm count is continuously below 20 million for three times or testicular atrophy occurs; or when the dilated veins disappear when lying down, the inguinal vein can be performed.It is recommended to promptly visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination by a doctor to determine the degree of varicocele before targeted treatment. There are many treatment methods for male diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the chosen treatment method will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and careful examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
