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. Please advise on varicocele.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele often recurs in young and middle-aged adults. Mild inflammation may show no obvious symptoms, while severe inflammation can manifest as a dull ache or a sense of heaviness and fullness in the affected scrotum. Varicocele can affect sperm development, leading to infertility. For those with no obvious symptoms, scrotal suspension can be used to slow the progression of the condition. Surgical treatment should be considered for those with significant symptoms and abnormal sperm, especially for those who have fertility requirements. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment can impact overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. We wish you a speedy recovery.
