Patient's question:
Last month, a thorough examination revealed mild varicocele, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But recently, I've been feeling some discomfort in the scrotum. I want to know how doctors treat mild varicocele, if it can be cured, and if I can still have children in the future?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause pain and interfere with functional impairment, and it may also affect sperm quality. Mild cases can be treated with medication, while moderate to severe cases require surgical treatment. Specific treatment depends on understanding your condition. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
