Patient's question:
18 June, I went to see a doctor and got a lot of medicine. After taking it, I felt much better and the pain stopped. But now it has started again, with a heavy pain. Sometimes, just touching it makes it start to hurt. What should I do? Should I focus on taking medicine or consider surgery?Doctor's answer:
It's best to go to a regular hospital's urology department for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. For mild (degree 1) cases, oral medication is recommended, while for severe (degree 2-3) cases, surgery should be performed directly to solve the problem. This can prevent interference with sperm quality, leading to infertility. It is advised to maintain a light diet, avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and refrain from sexual activity. Additionally, avoid exposure to cold, overwork, long periods of standing or walking, and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Always keep a calm mood and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed.
