How effective is the treatment for varicocele?

Patient's question:

I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of uneven height. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: How can varicocele be effectively treated?

Doctor's answer:

Postoperative complications of varicocele surgery may occur, so pay attention to wearing supportive underwear for the scrotum in the early stages after surgery to prevent prolonged sitting or overexertion. Although complications may occur, if varicocele has already affected sperm quality, surgical treatment is still recommended. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment during the treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Patients should also pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
