Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently, experiencing pain in my scrotum. The doctor said I have varicocele. How can varicocele be treated quickly?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. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
