Patient's question:
Do I need surgery for mild varicocele? The symptoms of mild varicocele are not very obvious, what should I do? How can it be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The treatment for varicocele can be conservative for mild cases, which involves resting, 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, leading to impaired blood circulation in the testicles, which disrupts their normal sperm production and secretion functions. Over time, this can result in testicular atrophy and loss of all functions.
