Patient's question:
I suffer from varicocele, with a width of 2.4, how to treat it? Does it require surgery? How to treat varicocele well?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is the dysfunction of the valves in the spermatic veins, which leads to the recurrence of varicose veins in the spermatic veins. The main symptoms include a sense of heaviness and discomfort in the perineum. In severe cases, it can cause testicular atrophy and infertility. In your case, you likely have moderate varicocele. For this condition, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment for high ligation of the spermatic veins. There is a minimally invasive surgical option, such as laparoscopic high ligation of the spermatic veins.Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication may be required for management.
