Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to ask a few questions about whether this is varicocele. Is it on the left side, the right side, or both sides? If it is, what degree does it have? Then, should it be treated with medication or surgery? If surgery is performed, how much will it cost? (Male, 20 years old)Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up visit, undergo a color Doppler ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to preventing prolonged standing, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoiding any factors that can lower abdominal pressure, such as loud laughter or constipation. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
