Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of pain in my testicles and went to the hospital for a check-up. They diagnosed it as varicocele. I didn't do anything wrong, so how did I get this condition? And it's said to affect fertility, but I'm not even married yet. What should I do?Question:
What is the best way to treat varicocele?
Doctor's answer:
For mild varicocele, surgical treatment is generally not required. Wearing tight clothing or taking medication can be effective. Moderate to severe varicocele requires early surgical treatment because the accumulation of blood in the dilated veins lowers testicular temperature, interfering with sperm development. In daily life, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, excessive strenuous exercise, smoking, drinking beer in moderation, and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Since the severity of the disease and symptoms vary from person to person, treatment plans should be tailored accordingly. It is important to confirm the condition and provide targeted treatment.We recommend seeking treatment at a regular, professional hospital for targeted care. The main focus should be on conducting a thorough examination based on individual circumstances, followed by treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
