Patient's question:
I have varicocele and recently have been experiencing some abnormal sensations while urinating. Additionally, my scrotum is somewhat swollen, and during standing and walking, I can feel a dull ache and discomfort. Besides the feeling of heaviness and fullness, what are the severe consequences of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele often tends to recur more easily, causing a sense of heaviness and swelling in the testicles. Additionally, it can be associated with conditions like hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis, which also has a significant impact on fertility. If you have varicocele of the spermatic cord, it is advisable to consider surgical intervention for timely resolution. In daily life, you can take blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving medications to alleviate symptoms and expansion, such as Matislin. Male patients can, while understanding standard treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in their daily lives. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge drink.
