Patient's question:
I have varicocele, with the widest diameter being 0.23 cm, on the left side. The residual urine in the bladder is 30 mL.Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, it is considered that you have varicocele on the left side, and the diagnosis is relatively clear. This condition requires surgery. Regarding post-void residual urine, it may be related to benign prostatic hyperplasia, and this can be treated with medication in your age group. Surgical treatment for varicocele involves high ligation of the left spermatic vein. In daily life, it is recommended to increase the intake of spicy foods, pay attention to rest, and avoid unhealthy habits such as frequent sexual activity. In fact, having a urological condition is not terrifying. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as the condition is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
