Patient's question:
In the past month, I've been experiencing severe lower abdominal pain, some frequent urination and urgency, and significant redness and swelling in the urethral orifice. Several new burst veins have appeared on my scrotum, which looks very unattractive. I've been divorced for several years, and my ex-wife hasn't been able to get pregnant. My sexual performance is also short. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said there is varicocele on the left side.What kind of help I need: Is left varicocele curable?
Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the expansion and coiling of veins due to impaired venous return, commonly occurring on the left side. It is a common disease among young and middle-aged males. If left untreated, it can lead to inflammation in other parts of the body and even cause male infertility. Surgical treatment for varicocele is curable. For recurring symptoms of varicocele that affect normal sexual life and daily work, surgical treatment is recommended. The disease can be treated through high ligation of the internal spermatic vein, with a low recurrence rate post-surgery. Additionally, daily care is also important, such as avoiding prolonged sitting, maintaining attention, enhancing physical fitness, and avoiding spicy or irritating foods.
