Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in physical 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:
Varicocele is more common on the left side and forms an almost 90° angle with the left spermatic vein draining into the left renal vein. In most cases, it does not require treatment, but surgery is recommended in the following two situations:1. Significant symptoms: A feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the scrotum.
2. Infertility: Spermatogenic dysfunction caused by varicocele.
Although varicocele may not be the sole cause of infertility, it is at least a high-risk factor. It is recommended to start treatment with Tong Su Shu Mai Fang as early as possible. This herbal formula helps to warm the body, dispel cold, regulate qi, and prevent high-altitude induced abortion.
