Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated? Is surgery necessary?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele has little impact on health, and most cases can be cured after marriage. Once diagnosed, it's important to rest, balance activity and rest, and actively participate in beneficial cultural and recreational activities. For patients with more severe symptoms, it may affect fertility, and surgical treatment, such as high ligation of the spermatic vein, should be performed at the hospital. Generally, mild symptoms may not require any treatment, and a scrotal support bandage can be used to lift and protect the scrotum. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms, and it is also recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
