Patient's question:
On one side it's mild, and on the other it's moderate. Last year during the recruitment physical exam, it was found that it wasn't properly managed. A few days ago, while playing basketball, I felt some pain at the base of the penis where the hair grows. I was prescribed some medication, but I don't know if it will be effective.Doctor's answer:
If the varicocele recurs again, early surgery is needed to resolve it, preventing interference with sexual life and the recurrence of complications. If the varicocele recurs again, it is generally related to inflammation caused by vascular curvature, requiring early and careful observation. If there are obvious clinical manifestations, surgery is necessary, as medication is not effective. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at professional and regular hospitals, considering treatment based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
