Patient's question:
I have varicocele but it doesn't hurt, and there's no pain when my ears feel heavy. Sometimes, standing for a long time makes my testicles feel slightly sore. I live a normal life. My job involves standing still, and when I walk, the soreness disappears. Sometimes it's sore, and sometimes it's not. I already have children and don't want surgery. How should I treat it, and what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Underwear can be worn a bit tighter. If there is no redness, swelling, heat, or pain, there is generally no need for cold compresses. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods and refrain from frequent intense exercise. Do not smoke, drink beer in moderation, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. In the summer, avoid alternating hot and cold stimuli, and maintain a moderate frequency of sexual activity. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals promptly and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, practice restraint in sexual activity, maintain a positive mood, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
