Patient's question:
Last year around this time, I had this symptom, a heavy and distended feeling in the testicles. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it was varicocele. Taking some medication helped, but now it has flared up again around this time this year. I'd like to ask what kind of medication I should take?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by damage to the pampiniform plexus valves, leading to venous reflux obstruction and resulting in recurrent discomfort. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital to undergo several color Doppler ultrasound examinations to determine the degree of varicocele. If necessary, surgical treatment may be required, as drug treatment is ineffective. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication to maintain it.For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity.
