Patient's question:
Father was admitted to the hospital due to testicular swelling and pain for a thorough examination. The examination revealed a diameter of 3.1mm in the right varicocele. We do not know what this means, to what extent it is varicose, or how serious it is. Therefore, we are here to consult the experts: is a 3.1mm varicocele serious?Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of this varicocele. The diameter in 3.1 is not very severe. If it causes functional disorders, the main clinical treatment measure is surgical treatment to remove these residual vessels and re-establish new collateral circulation. Elderly patients have weakened immunity, so postoperative rest and intravenous antibiotics should be paid attention to. The indoor air quality should be kept clean to prevent bacterial infections and other complications from the wound.
