Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:"Lately, I've been planning to have a child, and I've been experiencing a sensation of testicular drooping. Upon investigation, I found out that I have varicocele on the left side. How can varicocele be effectively treated?"
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause local heaviness, dull pain, and discomfort. For mild symptoms, a scrotal support belt can be used. For more severe symptoms accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment can be considered. Currently, minimally invasive surgery is commonly adopted. Avoid prolonged standing or walking, and refrain from spicy and irritating foods in your diet. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
