Patient's question:
My cousin has varicocele. I noticed he has been taking a traditional Chinese medicine recently and has been consuming quite a bit of it. I'm worried that it might not be good if he takes too much. I wanted to ask you if traditional Chinese medicine is effective for treating varicocele and what are the results?Doctor's answer:
For varicocele, symptoms can be stabilized through oral traditional Chinese medicine. Generally, taking it for 1 to 3 months should not pose significant problems. Of course, any medication taken for a long time may have certain side effects. Local physical therapy methods can also be combined to stabilize the condition. If there is no significant improvement after long-term oral medication, surgical treatment may need to be considered.In addition to medication, dietary habits and psychological state are also very important. It is essential to maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the gradual recovery of male reproductive health issues.
