Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated? What causes it? My brother has been married for two years and still hasn't had children. The family has been urging him, but his sister-in-law refuses to get pregnant. Then they went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said my brother had varicocele. I want to know how it happened, why this is happening, and what should be done.Doctor's answer:
Individuals with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can wear elastic pants or use scrotal supports. Men with severe symptoms and varicocele accompanied by sperm abnormalities should undergo surgical treatment. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek professional and reputable medical institutions for diagnosis and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
