Patient's question:
Ultrasound suggests left varicocele, diameter 3.5mm. How is left varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged people. The possible reason may be that young and middle-aged people have more active sexual functions and abundant blood supply to the contents of the scrotum. Therefore, some varicoceles can gradually disappear with age. Additionally, prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are also contributing factors. It is recommended to undergo surgery, which usually takes about 1 hour and is performed under anesthesia, so it won't be painful. After surgery, it is important to rest, maintain a regular lifestyle, keep a positive mood, and avoid fatigue. Avoid excessive activity for six months post-surgery. Pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area to prevent retrograde infection.
