Patient's question:
What causes varicocele, and how did it happen? We have been trying to conceive for a long time, but there is no pain, and we don't know what to do. It is absolutely impossible to get pregnant. After a thorough examination, it was said that it is varicocele. What should we do? Can it be treated? Will it be cured? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotal symptoms and apply cold compresses. In more severe varicocele cases, where sperm count is consistently below 20 million for three consecutive times or accompanied by testicular atrophy, and the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the varicocelectomy procedure can be performed. It is recommended to seek detailed examination in a formal hospital for symptomatic treatment. Varicocele conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, treatment should be considered based on examination results.
