Patient's question:
Got prostatitis in May 2009. Main symptoms: swelling at the base of the penis and left rectal area. Later, occasionally experienced brief, mild swelling in both testicles, not noticeable, painless to touch, and never paid much attention. How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are no medications available to treat varicocele. Surgical treatment is the only method of treatment, but not all patients require surgery. After surgery, it will never interfere with sexual function. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and also maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
