Patient's question:
How can varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for varicocele, mild cases can be managed conservatively, which involves rest, wearing tight-fitting underwear, reducing strenuous exercise, and appropriately using blood-activating medications, among other measures. However, moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, require surgery. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal hospital under the guidance of a doctor to implement standardized and systematic care. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is often necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively visit a professional and formal hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is essential to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
