How should varicocele be treated?

Patient's question:

Feeling very uncomfortable in the private area, that feeling can't be described, it affects work and life very much, it's very annoying. How is the best treatment effect for varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, can lead to an increase in scrotal temperature, causing the testicular temperature to drop by 1°C to 2°C. Persistent long-term elevation in temperature can affect sperm production in the testes, resulting in azoospermia and oligospermia. The epididymis also facilitates sperm maturation. It is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The incidence of left varicocele is higher. Individuals with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band. Men with severe symptoms and infertility due to varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm should undergo surgical treatment.
