Patient's question:
What is the ancient method for treating varicocele? A few weeks ago, I had a thorough examination that revealed varicocele. I want to go to the hospital as soon as possible to have surgical treatment, because every doctor said that surgery is the fastest. What are the precautions to be noted for varicocele surgery? How much will it cost approximately?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause blood stasis in the testis and its surrounding tissues, reducing blood flow. This leads to a decrease in the nutrients necessary for sperm growth and development, affecting sperm maturation. Varicocele accounts for 30% to 40% of the causes of male infertility.Recommendation: It is best to consult with a local reputable large hospital for examination and treatment. This condition is not always curable through surgery. For younger individuals who have not yet married and exhibit symptoms, using an scrotal support band can alleviate symptoms. These patients often experience symptom resolution after marriage. For those with more severe symptoms, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed.
