Patient's question:
In the past two months, I have again experienced a dull ache in the groin area when standing, and prolonged standing has once again caused lower back pain. The scrotum has also shrunk. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have varicocele, and it's quite severe. I used to have masturbation habits. Does masturbation cause varicocele?Doctor's answer:
If you masturbate for a long time, it may lead to varicocele. This condition requires surgical treatment. In daily life, it is essential to pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene. After surgery, it is particularly important to pay attention to personal dietary hygiene and to consume some nutritious foods appropriately. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
