Patient's question:
I have varicocele for several months. It doesn't hurt and doesn't cause pain. It's just that my testicles are a bit big, and I didn't care much. Now I feel that they are a little smaller than before. I can feel it when I touch myself. It's not very heavy, just swollen after getting warm, and it doesn't hurt. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele generally does not have severe symptoms and does not require treatment. If the symptoms are severe and redness, swelling, and pain reappear, it is necessary to pay attention to timely symptomatic treatment. Combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment can be used, such as taking the oral Chinese medicine Xuefu Zhuyu Pills, restricting sexual activity, which can help alleviate symptoms. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits during the treatment period.
