Patient's question:
How should varicocele be treated? It feels very uncomfortable in the private area, and that feeling can't be described. It affects work and life very much, it's very troublesome.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to male infertility through various different pathways. It not only interferes with the regeneration of sperm but also causes an increase in sperm vitality. Therefore, patients with severe varicocele still need to consider active treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as reporting the scrotum and applying cold compresses are recommended. For more severe varicocele, patients whose sperm count is continuously below 20 million for three consecutive times or those with testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, varicocelectomy (high ligation of internal spermatic vein) can be performed. In addition to seeking proper medical treatment for andrological diseases, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
