Patient's question:
Lately, I've been easily tired and sore all over, especially in the scrotum area, which is very painful. I'm worried it might be varicocele. What are the common treatments for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is a condition where the return of spermatic vein blood is obstructed or the valves fail, causing blood to pool, leading to the expansion and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus. It is more common in young and middle-aged men. The incidence of left varicocele is higher. Those with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band. Men with severe symptoms and infertility caused by varicocele and abnormal sperm should undergo surgical treatment. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the spermatic veins. It is recommended to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment! In addition to conventional treatment for male urological diseases, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood.
