Patient's question:
Left varicose veins 3.5. Want to have surgery, unsure whether to do laparoscopic or microscopic surgery. Want to know when Dr. Bai Wenjun is available for consultation.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the expansion and coiling of veins due to impaired (venous reflux), forming clusters. It is more common on the left side and is a prevalent condition among young and middle-aged males. If left untreated, it can lead to inflammation in other nearby areas and even cause male infertility. For individuals experiencing symptoms of varicocele that interfere with normal sexual life and daily work, laparoscopic surgery is recommended for treatment. This procedure involves minimal mental trauma, minimal skin incisions, and a rapid recovery. The disease is treated by ligating the high position of the internal spermatic vein. The recurrence rate after surgery is low. Additionally, daily care is also important, such as avoiding prolonged sitting or compression, strengthening the body through exercise, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition.
