Patient's question:
My varicocele is on the left side. I saw online that using an orchial support belt to lift the testicle can reduce symptoms, but I've tried it too and haven't seen any improvement in my symptoms. Moreover, I have a mild varicocele, so logically, my symptoms shouldn't be this noticeable. Even when I rest in bed at night and sleep in a hunched position, I still feel uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the abnormal dilatation and tortuosity of veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. It is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults, characterized by the expansion, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus (vein vascular) caused by venous blood stasis in the spermatic cord. Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment.Non-surgical treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as reporting to the scrotum and cold compresses may be recommended. In addition to active treatment, patients with andrological diseases should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover quickly from this condition. I hope the above answers are helpful to you. Thank you!
