Patient's question:
Discomfort between the legs, even walking is painful. There's no choice but to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the doctor's careful examination, it was said that there is varicocele in the left testicle. It is said that smoking can lead to this disease, but I don't smoke. This disease is said to affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If a patient with varicocele experiences only mild discomfort, medication control or scrotal support can be adopted. If the pain is severe or there are concerns about infertility, high ligation surgery should be performed. During the surgery, the patient must first undergo local or upper body anesthesia, then an incision of about 2 to 3 centimeters is made above the groin, and the swollen veins can be ligated. The process is simple and safe. If the varicocele is bilateral or the patient has previously undergone surgery, laparoscopic surgery can be considered to ligate the varicocele. After the surgery, the varicose vein plexus gradually disappears, and the motility of sperm in most patients is expected to decrease, and the quality of semen can also be stabilized. Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment. Non-surgical treatment: timed topical application therapy, daily health care, scrotal support, cold compresses, etc. Surgical treatment: varicocele
