Patient's question:
What medication should I take? Can taking medication have side effects, and will it kill sperm? Thank you for giving an answer. Varicocele, can I take medication without surgery?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of varicocele is not solely surgical. For younger individuals who are unmarried and experiencing symptoms, a scrotal support band can be used to lower the scrotum, which may alleviate the symptoms. Those without symptoms or with mild symptoms can use only a scrotal supporter or wear tight-fitting underwear. For more severe cases, varicocelectomy (high ligation of internal spermatic veins) is recommended. We advise you to return to the hospital for follow-up.For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life.
