Patient's question:
Can varicocele be cured? I have been feeling a bit uncomfortable in my groin for a while, with some tingling pain. When I touched it, it felt like there were small lumps, and I also felt discomfort in my hip area. After a thorough examination and diagnosis at the hospital, I was told I have varicocele. What are the methods for treating varicocele? Can varicocele be cured?Doctor's answer:
The cause is due to the long course of the internal spermatic vein, which experiences the greatest pressure, as well as venous valve scars or incomplete self-locking. Clinical symptoms include swelling or a sensation of heaviness in the affected scrotal area, which worsens after exertion or prolonged standing and improves with rest in a supine position. It can lead to testicular atrophy, affect normal sperm growth, and impact fertility. You can seek treatment at a local reputable and professional hospital for symptomatic treatment. The main approach is to conduct a targeted and thorough examination based on individual circumstances, followed by symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
