Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of pain in my testicles and went to the hospital for a check-up. It was diagnosed as varicocele. I didn't do anything wrong, so how did I get this condition? And it's said to affect fertility, but I'm not even married yet. What should I do?Please ask:
How should I treat varicocele for the best results?
Doctor's answer:
For mild varicocele, surgical treatment is generally not required. Wearing tight clothing or taking medication can be effective. Moderate to severe varicocele must be treated with early surgical intervention because blood retention in the dilated veins causes a decrease in testicular temperature, which interferes with sperm development. In daily life, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, excessive strenuous exercise, smoking, drinking beer in moderation, and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Since the severity of the condition and symptoms vary from person to person, treatment plans should be tailored accordingly. It is important to confirm the condition and treat it accordingly.We recommend seeking treatment at a reputable and professional hospital. The primary approach should be a targeted examination based on individual circumstances, followed by treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
