Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of different heights. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: What is the best way to treat varicocele?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 may be necessary, with minimally invasive surgery being the current preferred approach. Avoid prolonged standing or walking. Varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
