Patient's question:
Ultrasound findings: Left varicocele, slightly increased fluid volume in both scrotums. Bilateral epididymal echoes are slightly uneven. Currently, there is a sense of heaviness above the testicles and penis.Help needed: How is varicocele treated? Is the heaviness a result of varicocele?
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele on the left side refers to the dilated and tortuous veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. In severe cases, it can interfere with fertility. If varicocele causes only mild discomfort, a scrotal support can be used. If there is pain or concerns about infertility, surgical ligation at a higher position should be performed. Rest regularly, maintain a regular lifestyle, and always keep a cheerful mood to prevent fatigue. Avoid excessive exercise for one year after surgery. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited; alcohol consumption is forbidden, and irritating foods should be avoided.
