Patient's question:
The ultrasound results show that the widest internal diameter of the left spermatic vein is approximately 2.4mm during normal breathing, and it can reach 3.0mm during the Valsalva maneuver. No significant reflux was observed. What degree do you have? You don't have any symptoms usually, will it worsen if you become a soldier? The people from the armed forces said that it's not a major issue as long as you don't have severe degrees, what should I pay attention to regularly? Should I wear underwear with a scrotum, tight pants, or loose pants?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you have moderate varicocele, which does not meet the surgical criteria. Intense exercise or prolonged standing can worsen the varicocele. If this occurs, surgical treatment will be directly required. In daily life, it is important to avoid intense exercise, and it is recommended to wear loose-fitting pants as underwear. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to immediately seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
