Patient's question:
I used to hate playing basketball. Now I work as a security guard after work, and I always feel uncomfortable on the left side. After researching, it seems like varicocele. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Varicose veins are the most common disease of the venous system. The main cause is due to congenital weakness of the vascular wall membrane or prolonged maintenance of the same posture with little change, leading to blood accumulation in the lower limbs. Over time, this can damage venous valves and result in high venous pressure, which is a symptom of vascular weakness on the skin surface. If the symptoms are mild, wearing medical compression stockings or using elastic bandages on the affected limb can help prevent prolonged standing or sitting, and intermittent elevation of the affected limb.
