Patient's question:
In 2017, I discovered I had prostatitis, but taking medication and intravenous fluids didn't improve it. In 2018, a thorough examination revealed varicocele, with frequent testicular pain and lower back discomfort, as well as reduced urine output.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can interfere with sperm quality. It is recommended to check the sperm quality. If there are issues with sperm quality and the testicles still hurt after internal medicine treatment, it is advisable to undergo early surgical treatment. If everything is fine, there is no need to worry. The symptoms might still be caused by prostatitis. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and follow a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
