Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some pain in the groin area or lower back. The symptoms worsen after exertion, prolonged standing, or walking. How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele in males can lead to the recurrence of infertility and requires active treatment. There are medication-based and surgical treatments available, but surgical treatment tends to be more effective. Timely follow-up is necessary. It is recommended that you follow up promptly and consider which treatment method is suitable for your specific condition, avoiding (blind treatment). Avoid prolonged standing, sitting, or overexertion. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, so long-term medication treatment may be required. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity, maintaining a positive mood, and finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
