Patient's question:
I have varicocele for four years. I have been taking long-distance buses recently. There is severe swelling and pain in the scrotum, with a feeling of heaviness. What medicine can relieve it? Taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan and Danshen Pian can help. I want to know if varicocele is treatable?Doctor's answer:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment. For moderate varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotal cold packs. For severe varicocele, a history of sperm count below 20 million for three consecutive times, or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the spermatic vein (high ligation of the spermatic vein) can be performed. When patients face urological problems, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid avoiding medical consultation. If urological problems are not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
