Patient's question:
I recently went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have varicocele. I'm very worried. What should I do about varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Symptomatic varicocele may have a history of primary diseases such as renal tumors or hydronephrosis; primary varicocele may have a history of male infertility. When the patient stands, the scrotum swells, with a sense of heaviness and fullness, which can radiate to the upper abdomen, groin, or waist. It is relieved during walking and exertion, and reduced after lying down and resting. Considering your symptoms, they are not likely varicocele. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, eat less spicy and irritating foods, drink less alcohol, and seek medical attention promptly if you have any other discomfort. For varicocele patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect the overall health condition.
