Patient's question:
These days, my testicles have been very painful, and I can't even lightly touch them with my hands. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be varicocele, which is related to my usual habit of sitting for work and wearing tight underwear. Later, I learned that there are varicocele-specific underwear available for sale. Who has any good varicocele-specific underwear that they can share?Doctor's answer:
The elasticated underwear sold on the market for varicocele does not have much effect, and there is no scientific basis for it. For those with varicocele, wearing pure cotton, breathable underwear is sufficient. It is essential to ensure that the underwear is loose and breathable. If you have varicocele, it is important to avoid prolonged sitting. If you sit for work, it is best to get up and move around every hour. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, so long-term medication is necessary. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
