Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with varicocele. I would like to consult about this condition. How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is generally caused by the tortuous expansion of a plexus of varicose veins due to impaired blood of the spermatic vein, which can easily lead to testicular heaviness and even impaired sperm development. It is recommended to avoid prolonged standing, excessive walking, ensure sufficient rest and deep sleep, prevent overtime and overwork, do not drink beer, and do not smoke. If the varicocele is severe, it is advisable to seek medical treatment at a regular hospital, and surgical treatment is recommended.
