Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that my testicles were of uneven size, and one seemed to be lower than the other. When I touched it, the veins appeared to be particularly prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. My question is: Do varicoceles require treatment?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is important to pay attention to appropriate exercise regularly and avoid sitting for long periods. Be mindful not to have frequent sexual activity or engage in sexual life, and avoid drinking beer. Prevent consuming spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended that in this situation, timely surgery for treatment is the best option to avoid interference with sperm. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
