Patient's question:
I work at a convenience store and have to stand for 8 hours every day. Then, today I noticed some red blood vessels on my legs, and the blood vessels themselves are a bit weak. My colleague said I might have varicose veins. How can varicocele be tested? What should be noted?Doctor's answer:
If you have varicocele, it is recommended to go to a formal hospital's urology department for an ultrasound examination. If it is not severe, it is suggested to take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medication for treatment. If it is severe, this still requires minimally invasive surgery for treatment. Severe cases can easily affect sexual life or fertility, so it is important to pay attention to appropriately increasing exercise. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms.
