Patient's question:
Varicocele embolization and surgical intervention - Question 1: What are the risks of this treatment? Can there be any sequelae? Will I be unable to do manual labor or excessive physical activity from then on? Do the veins lose their function after embolization and rely on collateral circulation? How can a more ideal treatment method be achieved?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify your doubts. In this case, it is possible to perform this surgery for treatment. Going to a larger hospital's urology department to have the surgery done generally poses no major issues and carries minimal risks. There's no need to worry. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that any adverse problems will occur again. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can help reduce the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
