Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver, and I have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking physical 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 most effective treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment.Non-surgical treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotal swelling, cold compresses, etc.
Surgical treatment: For severe varicocele, sperm count continuously below 20 million three times in a row, or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, inguinal internal spermatic vein ligation can be performed.
Varicocele can easily lead to infertility. In daily life, avoid prolonged standing, sitting, or frequent intense exercise. Do not smoke, drink less beer, and avoid spicy and irritating foods, etc.
