Patient's question:
Mild varicocele, where the veins on the upper scrotum can be seen, occasionally causing pain. How should it be resolved?Doctor's answer:
When varicocele is severe, it may cause recurrent localized downward pain and discomfort. An ultrasound examination can be performed to assess the condition. Avoid standing for long periods and overexertion. Wear tight-fitting pants or an scrotal support. If there is no improvement, surgery can be considered. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication may be necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking.
