Patient's question:
I have varicocele, which has been around for a while. Recently, I've noticed that I often experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity, which is very frustrating. Is this condition serious? Can it be cured? Which hospital is good for varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to a disease where the veins in the spermatic cord repeatedly become dilated, expanded, side-swung, and twisted, leading to slow blood flow and blood stasis, which in turn causes a series of clinical symptoms. Varicocele can impair testicular function and affect male fertility. Medication is not very effective in controlling or preventing its occurrence, so blind medication should be avoided. It is recommended to seek treatment at a local top-tier hospital. Avoid sexual activity until the condition is cured. A scrotal support belt can be used to elevate the scrotum, aiding venous return, which serves some health and preventive functions during the remission period but does not cure varicocele. Therefore, surgical treatment is generally more effective.
