Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of uneven height. 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:
You have varicocele on the left side, which is often a pathological phenomenon caused by the dilatation, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus due to various reasons leading to poor drainage. For mild varicocele, conservative treatments such as reporting to the scrotum and cold compresses are recommended. For severe varicocele, surgical treatment such as high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is often required. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
