Patient's question:
I always suffer from premature ejaculation, but the examination revealed varicocele on the left side. What are the treatment methods for left varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for varicocele, mild cases can be managed conservatively, which involves rest, wearing tight underwear, reducing strenuous exercise, and appropriately using blood-activating medications. However, moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, require surgery. This is because varicocele obstructs blood, causing circulatory disorders in the testicles, impairing their normal sperm production and secretion functions. Over time, this can lead to testicular atrophy and the loss of all functions.
