Patient's question:
I noticed that my scrotum is slightly swollen, and apart from some occasional pain, it's making me quite concerned. Later, I underwent a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have varicocele and that surgery is recommended. However, I don't want to have surgery, so I'd like to consult and ask if varicocele can be left untreated without surgery?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can only be treated through surgery. Generally, other medications have little therapeutic effect and cannot cure the condition. There are several causes of this disease, and if it is not treated promptly, it may affect sperm quality and lead to infertility again. It is recommended to seek surgical treatment at a local regular hospital in a timely manner to prevent other complications. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In addition to symptomatic treatment for male urological diseases, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to achieve good therapeutic effects.
