Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults, and the cause may be related to their more active sexual function and abundant blood supply to the contents of the scrotum. Therefore, some varicoceles may gradually disappear with age. Additionally, prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are also contributing factors.Recommendations:
1. During surgery, there is a risk of damaging the spermatic lymphatic vessels and testicular arteries. Microsurgical varicocelectomy can effectively prevent these complications and reduce the recurrence rate.
2. The surgical procedure typically takes about 1 hour, and it is performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the operation. After surgery, it is important to rest, maintain a regular lifestyle, and always keep a positive mood.
