Patient's question:
I previously had right varicocele, which was surgically treated in 2014. However, the condition recurred three months later. Is my lower back discomfort caused by varicocele?Doctor's answer:
If discomfort in the waist reappears after exertion, it is generally caused by damage to the soft tissues in the waist. Dysfunction of small joints, as well as herniated discs or bone spurs, can also lead to this condition recurring. Therefore, it is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause before receiving targeted treatment. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment.
