Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling dampness and swelling in the scrotum, especially noticeable when walking. There's also pain in the lower abdomen and waist. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as varicocele. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If varicocele is severe, surgical intervention and minimally invasive embolization may be necessary. Surgical treatment can involve varicocelectomy or varicocele embolization. Medication treatment is also an option, such as taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or flavonoid-based anti-inflammatory and antioxidant medications. In fact, suffering from male reproductive health issues is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is administered during early detection, the chances of alleviating the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
