Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with varicocele last month. I am still in school, and every semester, in addition to physical education tests, can you issue a certificate for exemption from physical education?Doctor's answer:
If you have varicocele, it is first necessary to seek treatment. Most often, surgical and medication treatment methods are required. It is recommended to quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, maintain a light diet, and avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure; cooling therapy or scrotal support, etc. This condition may not be eligible for a health check exemption certificate, and activities that increase abdominal pressure should be avoided; cooling therapy or scrotal support, etc. Patients should not wear leather pants or underwear. Patients should always maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, reducing stress. Patients should develop good hygiene habits and should clean the foreskin and scrotum daily to prevent wearing poorly ventilated pants made of leather.
