Patient's question:
I've been feeling unwell for the past few days and went to the hospital for a check-up. The result was varicocele. I want to know, is the varicocele on the left side severe?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms, the patient should have varicocele. It is due to blood stasis and blockage, poor blood circulation, and insufficient microcirculation, which therefore causes pain in the groin and swelling. It is recommended to give blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving drugs, such as Huoxue Huoyu Capsules and Simiao Pills for treatment. Additionally, a low-salt and low-fat diet should be followed, and smoking and alcohol should be avoided. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Moreover, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
