Patient's question:
When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said I have a new saphenous vein varicosity. I want to know how to treat saphenous vein varicosity?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the obstruction of venous return in the spermatic cord, failure of valves, and blood reflux leading to blood stasis, causing the pampiniform plexus to expand, elongate, and kink. It is recommended that for asymptomatic patients, non-surgical treatments such as wearing tight-fitting underwear and closely monitoring changes can be provided. Additionally, alcohol and irritating foods should be avoided. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Patients should also pay attention to personal hygiene.
