Patient's question:
This year, the sexual activity time was very short, and it was especially easy to ejaculate. Additionally, sometimes the penis felt uncomfortable, a bit swollen. I've started not taking it seriously. Last weekend, I went to a urology hospital for a thorough examination and was told it was varicocele. I want to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, so I'd like to understand how traditional Chinese medicine treats varicocele.Doctor's answer:
If varicocele needs to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, there are several aspects to consider. First is promoting blood circulation, second is acupuncture and moxibustion for stabilization, and third is the treatment with physical light waves, which is considered ideal. In fact, based on the classification of varicocele, the first type is relatively mild, which can be adjusted through exercise and preventing long-term sitting. If it is severe, surgery is the only option.
