Patient's question:
I've been feeling a heavy and bloated sensation in my lower abdomen for the past few weeks, along with some urinary frequency and urgency. My penis is swollen and red, especially on the scrotum, where there are several small veins that have burst. They feel soft and very strange. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with varicocele. What should I pay attention to with mild varicocele? How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
1. Varicocele is often overlooked by patients, mainly because its symptoms are not obvious, and the condition is not considered too severe. However, as the condition progresses, it may worsen, potentially leading to male infertility.2. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a regular and professional hospital. Men with varicocele can eat chicken, cauliflower, and beef. However, they should avoid ginger, onions, and red chili peppers. Additionally, they can moderately consume some tripe, as it has a very positive effect on regulating varicocele caused by liver qi stagnation.
