Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some pain in the groin area or lower back. The symptoms worsen after fatigue, prolonged standing, or walking. What medication is best for treating varicocele? How is varicocele investigated?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele, surgical treatment is the best option. The treatment for varicocele involves high ligation of the internal spermatic vein through the inguinal canal, which is a commonly used method in general hospitals. Similar to the incision for hernia, the spermatic cord is exposed, and the main trunk and branches of the internal spermatic vein are identified and ligated. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
