Patient's question:
How should varicocele be treated? It feels very uncomfortable down there, a feeling that can't be described, and it affects work and life very much, it's very troublesome.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to male infertility through various different pathways. It not only disrupts the regeneration of sperm but also causes a decline in sperm motility. Therefore, patients with severe varicocele still need to consider active treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as reporting scrotal symptoms and applying cold compresses may be recommended. For more severe varicocele, patients with a sperm count consistently below 20 million per cubic centimeter for three consecutive times, or those with testicular atrophy; if the varicosed veins disappear when lying flat, varicocelectomy (high ligation of internal spermatic vein) can be performed. In addition to seeking proper medical treatment for urological conditions, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should be mindful of choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
