Patient's question:
In recent times, I've been feeling a persistent dull ache or pulling sensation in the testicles, which has also affected my sexual function. At first, I thought it was kidney deficiency and took some tonics for it, but it didn't help at all. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was varicocele. It sounds quite alarming, so what exactly does varicocele mean?Doctor's answer:
After varicocele, the veins of the spermatic cord will become thickened and dilated, leading to circulatory disorders. In severe cases of varicocele, it can cause testicular swelling and a pulling pain sensation. Early-stage varicocele symptoms are relatively mild and can be treated with conservative observation and oral medication. For more severe varicocele, surgical high ligation treatment is required. If not treated promptly, it can affect the testicular function of sperm production, leading to infertility.In addition to treating male reproductive diseases, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
