Patient's question:
Varicocele Does medication work for varicocele? How long does it take to heal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, varicocele is caused by an excessively large angle of venous drainage from the spermatic vein into the renal vein, especially when the left spermatic vein almost drains at a right angle. Therefore, prolonged standing or walking can lead to poor blood flow and congestion, resulting in varicocele. Since varicocele is due to a problem with the blood vessels themselves, medication often has little effect. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed ultrasound examination of the spermatic vein to determine the severity of the varicocele. If the varicocele is severe and accompanied by abnormal semen, surgical treatment may be necessary. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
