Patient's question:
I am 35 years old, male with varicocele. Do I need to have surgery for it? Is it necessary to have surgery? Do I need to be hospitalized for varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
I plan to have varicocele surgery. Varicocele surgery requires hospitalization, and patients can usually be discharged about one week after the operation. Varicocele can be treated with medication or surgery. Varicocele mainly affects the function of the testes. Varicocele can cause the temperature of the testes to be too high, increase sperm mortality, disrupt sperm quantity, thereby affecting the patient's fertility. In severe cases, it can affect sexual function, thereby interfering with sexual life. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended. We generally recommend surgical treatment.
