Patient's question:
A friend of mine was diagnosed with varicocele. He said he needs to have surgery for it. I wonder if varicocele always requires surgery?Doctor's answer:
For patients with varicocele or accompanied by neurasthenia, scrotal support and cold compress can be applied. Surgical treatment: For severe varicocele, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed. In daily life, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, and do not engage in frequent strenuous exercise. Do not smoke, drink less alcohol, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. In summer, avoid alternating hot and cold stimuli.
