Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently, experiencing pain in my scrotum. The doctor said I have varicocele. How should I treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the diagnosis is made through palpation. The patient adopts a standing position, and the swollen veins above the testicles are carefully examined. In mild varicocele, the swollen veins can only be felt when straining. In slightly more severe cases, the swollen veins can be directly palpated within the scrotum. In severe cases, the swollen veins can be seen with the naked eye. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
