Patient's question:
I have varicocele, and a careful examination shows it is moderate. Can it be treated with elastic underwear? Before, it was painful on the left side, but it doesn't hurt anymore. Now, it's painful on the right side, and bending over causes discomfort. Is moderate varicocele considered serious?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele examination is moderate. It cannot be treated with elastic underwear. This method is generally suitable for mild cases. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment. The varicocelectomy can be performed by ligating the high position of the spermatic vein. It is best to choose your treatment method at a regular large hospital. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence. Long-term medication should be maintained based on the examination results to consider further treatment. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
