Patient's question:
A man is 43 years old this year. I don't know why I had this disease back then because I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I only went for a check-up when I felt unwell, and by then, the disease had already started to affect my life. Please ask: Is surgery required to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can be treated with medication or surgery. Varicocele primarily affects the function of the testicles. It can cause the temperature of the testicles to become too high, increase sperm mortality, reduce sperm quantity, and thus affect the patient's fertility. In severe cases, it can impact sexual function, thereby affecting sexual life. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended. We generally advise surgical treatment.
