Patient's question:
What are the treatment methods for varicocele? What causes varicocele in men? Why is this happening? My husband said that his testicles have been uncomfortable recently, and after a thorough examination, it was found to be varicocele. Also, we have been unable to conceive for a long time. Is it because of this? What should we do now? Can varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
The pampiniform plexus of veins extends, bends, 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 supports can be worn; for men with severe symptoms and infertility caused by varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment should be performed. The treatment methods for varicocele vary depending on the different causes. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication during treatment is essential.
