Patient's question:
Varicocele causing the left testicle to have a small penis, will it be completely restored after minor surgery?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by the dilatation and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins in the spermatic cord, and it does not lead to enlargement of the penis or testicles. Varicocele can be surgically treated if it is significant. If the penis or testicles are abnormally small, it is necessary to go to the hospital for tests such as sexual hormones and pituitary gland to confirm the cause before targeted treatment. Male patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while receiving standard medical care. In daily diet, it is advisable to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and to refrain from overeating.
