Patient's question:
Is varicocele serious? I want to know what should be done about varicocele, how it is caused, can it be cured, what is the cause of it, will it interfere with pregnancy, how should it be treated? I want to get pregnant, but I found it after a thorough examination, what should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease in men, characterized by a heavy, distended, and pulling sensation in the scrotum, which is more pronounced when standing or moving and can be relieved when lying down. It can also lead to neurasthenia accompanied by the patient's worries and anxiety, resulting in emotional disturbances, fatigue, and neurasthenia, among other symptoms. In men with varicocele, approximately two-thirds may experience abnormal semen, with a small proportion of these cases potentially causing infertility. Treatment options include conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment includes wearing tight-fitting underwear, using the Tourniquet Liner Scrotal Support Pant, and applying local cold compresses.
