Patient's question:
I would like to ask about the methods for a thorough examination of varicocele and what steps are involved. Is the cost of a thorough examination of varicocele expensive? Which hospital has good results in treating varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to a disease where the veins in the spermatic cord repeatedly become dilated, expanded, and tortuous, leading to slow blood flow and congestion, which in turn causes a series of clinical symptoms. Varicocele can impair testicular function and affect male fertility. Medications are not very effective in controlling or preventing it, so blind medication should be avoided.Recommendations:
- Avoid sexual activity until the condition is cured.
- Use a scrotal support belt to elevate the scrotum, which can help venous blood flow and serve as a preventive measure during the remission phase. However, it does not cure varicocele, so surgical treatment is generally more effective.
- It is best to consult with a reputable large hospital in your area for thorough examination and treatment after seeking professional advice.
