Patient's question:
Before going to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was found that there was varicocele accompanied by microcalculi in the testicles. However, at that time, the doctor said it wasn't a big problem. Later, after taking some traditional Chinese medicine, there were no discomforts. Now, most of the time, there's nothing wrong, but recently I feel it's getting varicose again, sometimes accompanied by a dull pain that doesn't disappear even when lying down.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele has a poor effect with medication alone. For mild cases, conservative treatment can be adopted, while severe cases require surgical treatment. Both varicocele and testicular calculi can affect sperm quality, so you should take it seriously and seek treatment as early as possible. Avoid prolonged sitting, holding urine, and exercise more. Varicocele tends to recur, so long-term oral medication is necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek medical advice from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
