回复：为儿子精索静脉曲张之痛求教

你儿子的医生有无建议先穿jock strap(a scrotal support) or snug underwear 来缓解疼痛,特别是在学校里上体育课时?

在我的医院里,发给病人的information sheet里写着,必需做手术的三个指征是:
1.疼痛(pain);
2.睾丸缩小(shrinkage of a testicle);
3.造成男性不孕(associated with male infertility).

治疗方法:
1.Surgery to correct a varicocele is called a varicocelectomy(精索静脉曲张切除术):The gold standard for fixing a varicocele is the microscopic sub-inguinal varicocelectomy (most infertility specialists use the microscopic sub-inguinal approach, but some urologists may perform an inguinal inguinal (groin) or retroperitoneal (abdominal) varicocelectomy.).

2.An alternative to surgery is varicocele embolization(精索静脉曲张拴堵术)---a minimally invasive treatment for varicocele that is performed by an interventional radiologist.
你可以自己上网查查这些方法.

你的儿子还小，是否需要手术要根据ultrasound的结果,看有多严重.请与手术医生多商量：哪一种手术好、有把握.最好听取第二、第三意见（2nd opinion or 3rd opinion).
Good luck!
