Patient's question:
I am only 24 years old this year, and I unexpectedly learned that I have varicocele. I know very little about this disease. What are the different degrees of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is classified into the following types:Ⅰ degree: Varicose veins that cannot be felt locally but can be touched when the patient increases abdominal pressure.
Ⅱ degree: Varicose veins that can be palpated in an upright position but appear normal externally.
Ⅲ degree: Varicose veins that are visible on the surface of the scrotum, and a soft, worm-like mass can be felt upon palpation.
Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
