Patient's question:
Can severe varicocele be treated? I noticed some discomfort in my groin a while ago, along with a bit of pain, and when I touched it, it felt like there were small lumps. I also felt discomfort in my hip area. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with varicocele. What should I do if I have varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The spermatic vein is one of the main veins through which blood flows into the testes. When it becomes varicose, it can affect the blood supply to the testes, leading to impaired testicular function, particularly impacting sperm quality. Mild to moderate varicoceles may cause no discomfort in some individuals, with symptoms generally manifesting as lower back pain, fatigue, and a sense of heaviness or discomfort in the testes. Chronic prostatitis that is difficult to cure may also be related to varicoceles. Seek treatment from a specialist doctor at a public hospital. Don't be overly upset or worried—this condition can be treated effectively.
