Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated? I don't know what caused it. I have been trying to conceive for almost a year without success. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told I have varicocele. I don't know what's going on, so I want to consult a doctor about this. How did it happen? Will it lead to infertility? Are there any treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
The pampiniform plexus of spermatic veins extends, bends, and shortens, which is called varicocele, one of the common diseases in men. The treatment methods are as follows: For those with no symptoms or mild symptoms, elastic stockings or scrotal supports can be worn; for those with severe symptoms and male infertility accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment should be performed. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment in professional and regular hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on careful examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restrained, and a good mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
