Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver, and I have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of different heights. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: What is the best way to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
You have varicocele on the left side, which is often a pathological phenomenon caused by the dilatation, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus due to various reasons leading to poor blood flow. For mild varicocele, treatment may include reporting to the scrotum and cold compresses. For severe varicocele, surgical ligation of the high spermatic vein can be performed. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and regular medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
