How is varicocele best treated?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your situation, it should be varicocele. It is generally more common on the left side. In clinical diagnosis, we usually grade it by comparing it with the testicle. If the worm-like mass of varicosities is below the testicle, we consider it mild; if it is equal to the testicle, it is moderate; and if it is larger, it is severe. You can have a precise grading through a careful ultrasound examination. Generally, we recommend surgical treatment for varicoceles that are moderate or severe, while mild cases can be carefully monitored. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
