Patient's question:
Recently, I've been planning to have a child, but I've been experiencing a feeling of heaviness in my testicles. Upon investigation, I found out that I have varicocele on the left side. How can varicocele be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause local heaviness, dull pain, and discomfort. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support belt can be used. For more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment can be considered. Currently, minimally invasive surgery is commonly performed to prevent prolonged standing or walking. In terms of diet, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
