Patient's question:
Doctor, Happy New Year! Two weeks ago, the ultrasound said there was varicocele on both sides. The doctor said to take medicine and didn't need surgery. He clinically diagnosed epididymitis, but the ultrasound said there wasn't. He prescribed Meizhiling tablets for me. However, after taking it for half a month, it hasn't been effective. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You can consider getting a scrotal ultrasound. Epididymitis usually causes pain, while varicocele may lead to a sense of heaviness and fullness, as well as numbness in both lower limbs. If bilateral varicocele presents symptoms, surgical intervention is recommended. For epididymitis, anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. Avoid prolonged standing and strenuous exercise during daily life. This condition is not easily resolved and requires long-term adherence to treatment. In daily life, avoid overworking and excessive fatigue. In terms of diet, opt for a light and simple approach to reduce the possibility of inflammation and infection.
