Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing persistent or intermittent dull, aching, and dull pain in the scrotum, which can radiate to the lower abdomen. After examination, it was found to be varicocele. How is left varicocele usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotum, cold compresses, etc. For more severe varicocele, where sperm count is below 20 million for three consecutive times or testicular atrophy occurs; or when the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the inguinal internal vein ligation surgery can be performed. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time for a thorough examination by a doctor to determine the degree of varicocele before targeted treatment. There are many treatment methods for male diseases, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods adopted are also different. Therefore, patients need to have timely and careful examination and diagnosis to treat the disease according to the symptoms.
