Patient's question:
I often feel lower back pain. Traditional Chinese Medicine says I have kidney deficiency. Sometimes I also feel discomfort in my testicles, with a sense of fullness and pain. I got divorced from my wife over three years ago, and we haven't been able to have a child. Last month, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed that I have varicocele of the spermatic cord. Treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, which can be accompanied by testicular atrophy and impaired sperm development, may lead to male infertility. Treatment: Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment. Non-surgical treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotum, cold compresses, etc. Surgical treatment: For severe varicocele, continuous sperm count below 20 million for three times or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the inguinal vein ligation can be performed. Patients with urological diseases can understand symptomatic treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily dietary habits to avoid stimulating foods.
