Patient's question:
Last year around this time, I had this symptom, a heavy and distending sensation 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 recurred this year around this time. 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, which results 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 is required, as medication treatment is ineffective. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication maintenance.For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity.
