In fact, except for patients with varicocele complicated with superficial venous thrombophlebitis, patients with varicocele should avoid hot compress and infrared radiation as much as possible. The main reason is that hot compress can lead to arterial dilation of lower limbs, increase blood flow and aggravate venous congestion. Therefore, patients with varicocele are encouraged to take a local bath with cold water except those complicated with superficial venous thrombophlebitis.

Myth 2: Injection and drugs can cure varicocele.

The so-called "injection" refers to the injection of local sclerosing agent, which was widely used in primary hospitals in the 1960s and 1970s because of its simple operation and low cost. However, due to the high recurrence rate and many complications, it is no longer used in regular large hospitals in China. Drugs are adjuvant therapy, which can't radically cure venous diseases, but can alleviate the disease to some extent. & gt& gt& gt Minimally invasive EVLT can treat varicocele of lower limbs.

Myth 3: Simple varicocelectomy can cure varicocele.

Vein stripping in patients with deep vein thrombosis will cause deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening if it is not handled properly during perioperative period. For patients with venous insufficiency of lower limbs, simple vein stripping has a high recurrence rate.
