Patient's question:
Varicocele, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common swelling in the scrotum. This condition can affect male sexual function and sperm quality. It is generally associated with factors such as working in high temperatures and inflammation/infection. Treatment methods include medication and surgery. If the degree of varicocele does not affect sperm quality, conservative treatment can be performed. However, if sperm quality has already been impacted, early treatment must be implemented. Rest and avoiding high-temperature work conditions are recommended. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid smoking and drinking beer, as well as wearing tight clothing. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for management.
