Patient's question:
The veins in my scrotum have become thick and clustered. I had an ultrasound at the hospital, and I vaguely remember the doctor saying it was varicocele. At that time, I was running every day, and I ran quite hard each day. After running for a few weeks, one night after taking a nap, I felt itchy in my scrotum, and later I noticed a small, soft lump inside. However, the itching didn't last long, and it basically stopped after a few days. What happens if varicocele is left untreated for a long time?Doctor's answer:
1. Varicocele is often overlooked by patients, mainly because its symptoms are not obvious, and the condition is not considered too serious. 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 tripe, as it has a very effective regulating effect on varicocele caused by liver qi stagnation.
