Patient's question:
The veins in the left scrotum appear like worms, diagnosed as varicocele, moderate. At what age did you discover the cause of the varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Principle of Treatment for Varicocele:1. Mild cases and those without impaired spermatogenesis do not require treatment.
2. For severe symptoms or cases where testicular spermatogenesis is impaired, surgical treatment is recommended. Methods include:
- High ligation of the internal spermatic vein;
- Anastomosis of the internal spermatic vein with the internal iliac vein.
3. If complications occur after surgery, percutaneous transileal embolization of the internal spermatic vein can be performed.
Principle of Medication for Varicocele:
Due to impaired testicular function, medications that support the nourishment of spermatogenic epithelium are effective. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adopt a balanced diet.
