Patient's question:
Doctor, I've had testicular pain for a while. I went for a check-up and was told I have varicocele. So, how should I treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by the expansion of the spermatic veins and pampiniform plexus, leading to impaired blood circulation. It can result in a feeling of heaviness and distension in the scrotum, a lump, and may affect sperm quality. Varicocele can be treated through procedures such as high ligation of the spermatic veins and laparoscopic varicocelectomy. While varicocele can be relieved, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential for patients to actively cooperate with their doctors' medication plans during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
