Treatment of varicocele with Fus subcutaneous needling

摘要

Rationale:Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) is an innovative therapy of traditional acupuncture. FSN has been widely applied for the treatment of pain symptoms by relieving local muscle tension and promoting local blood circulation. Varicocele (VCL) is a disease that commonly occurs in male adolescents. Patients with VCL can suffer from pain in the scrotum, inguinal area, or unilateral testis, which could be an indication for FSN. In this study, we present a unique case, in which a 30-year-old male patient with VCL benefitted from FSN.
