Can left varicocele be asymptomatic?

Patient's question:

Left varicocele, but no pain, no discomfort. The color Doppler ultrasound shows 2.9mm, can it be left untreated? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help is needed: Is this condition common and can it be left untreated?

Doctor's answer:

If varicocele doesn't cause symptoms, it can be temporarily untreated. Pay attention to avoiding prolonged standing or other postures, wear tighter underwear or use a scrotal support to prevent varicocele. If the condition improves, it can be temporarily untreated or undergo simple conservative treatment. Regular follow-up is necessary. If symptoms reappear or the condition worsens, surgical treatment may be required when necessary. I hope my explanation helps you.
For patients, if the condition of urological diseases is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and proper medication are essential. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of urological diseases. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
