Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some pain in the groin area or lower back. The symptoms worsen after fatigue, prolonged standing, or walking. How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in males can lead to the recurrence of infertility and requires active treatment. There are medication-based and surgical treatment options, but surgical treatment tends to be more effective. Regular follow-up appointments are necessary. I recommend that you consult with your doctor promptly to determine the most suitable treatment method based on your individual condition, avoiding treatment. Avoid prolonged standing or sitting, as well as overexertion. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, so long-term medication treatment may be required. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
