Patient's question:
What medicine can be taken to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description of the condition, it is recommended that you consider visiting a hospital's traditional Chinese medicine department for proper treatment for a period of time. The representative medication is Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, which has a certain effect. Varicocele occurs more than 90% on the left side because the spermatic vein almost flows into the iliac vein at a near-right angle, causing venous reflux obstruction. The current perspective still emphasizes surgical treatment as the primary approach. The surgery is relatively minor and the effect is indeed significant. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on detailed examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
