Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Treatment Principles for Varicocele:1. Mild cases and those without impaired spermatogenesis do not require treatment.
2. For moderate to severe symptoms or cases causing impaired spermatogenesis in the testes, surgical treatment is recommended. Methods include high ligation of the internal spermatic vein and anastomosis of the internal spermatic vein with the internal iliac vein.
3. If complications occur post-surgery, percutaneous embolization of the internal spermatic vein can be performed.
Medication Principles:
Varicocele is associated with impaired testicular function, so medications that support spermatogenesis, particularly traditional Chinese medicine tonics for kidney health and spermatogenesis, can be used, especially post-surgery.
