Patient's question:
Over the past year, I've been feeling constantly weak all over, very anxious, and have poor urinary control. There are many burst veins on my scrotum, which look very unattractive, like small earthworms. My libido has decreased slightly, and I also experience frequent and urgent urination. After a thorough medical examination, the diagnosis was varicocele.What kind of help is needed: How is varicocele treated?
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. As a result of varicocele, factors such as local temperature drop, hypoxia, and the retention of toxic substances can lead to an increase in sperm count, improved sperm motility, and a decrease in the proportion of abnormal sperm. These changes can also affect penile erection, thereby reducing male fertility.For the treatment of this condition, individuals with asymptomatic or mild symptoms may wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support. Men with more severe symptoms and infertility due to varicocele accompanied by sperm abnormalities should undergo surgical treatment. Since I am unaware of your current condition, it is important to follow up early and adhere to medical advice for timely and appropriate treatment. This is a key measure to ensure that the condition is properly addressed.
I strongly recommend that you take this matter seriously.
