Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated? Are there any good methods for treating it? I don't know how it came about, but I discovered it during a health check-up. Then I had a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had varicocele and recommended treatment, otherwise it would interfere with future pregnancy. What should I do? I just got married this year and plan to have children. How is the best way to treat it now?Doctor's answer:
The pampiniform plexus of veins extends, tortuates, and shortens, which is called varicocele, one of the common diseases in men. The treatment methods are as follows: For those without symptoms or with mild symptoms, elastic pants or scrotal supporters can be worn; for those with severe symptoms and male infertility accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment should be performed. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the internal spermatic vein. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
