Patient's question:
I am 32 years old. I feel pain in my lower abdomen, and my testicles also hurt. I also feel very bloated. The symptoms become worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Please ask: Do varicoceles require surgical treatment?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele surgery is simple, but it cannot solve the problem you want to solve even after the surgery. Varicocele mainly affects fertility, so the indications for surgery are 1. Clear pain symptoms that affect daily life 2. Impaired sperm quality or moderate to severe varicocele that is worried about affecting fertility. If you don't have pain and have already conceived, your varicocele is moderate, and you can decide not to have surgery.
