Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my lower abdomen, with a persistent pain in my testicles. At the time, I didn't take it seriously, assuming it was just a psychological effect. However, over the past couple of days, the pain has become quite severe. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with varicocele. Therefore, I would like to consult an expert to understand what varicocele is.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by congenital weakness of the spermatic veins or other diseases. This condition can lead to nerve damage, vas deferens injury, hydrocele, and other complications, severely affecting sexual life. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner. After surgery, wear loose cotton underwear to increase friction. Additionally, maintain a healthy lifestyle, change underwear frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
