How is mild varicocele treated?

Patient's question:

How to treat mild varicocele, I'm still young, I don't feel any discomfort, and I've only been married for a short time. How could I get this disease? Recently, I've felt a bit uncomfortable in my testicles, but everything is normal during intercourse. At first, I didn't pay much attention. The day before yesterday, I thought about getting a thorough check-up to see, but who knew the check-up said it was mild varicocele. What should I do? Can it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele has multiple different causes. The clinical symptoms diagnosed in patients generally include a sense of heaviness and pain in the scrotum after prolonged standing, which can sometimes radiate to the contralateral lower abdomen or inner thigh. This symptom disappears after lying down. If not treated in time, it can interfere with fertility and may lead to symptoms such as mental unrest, anxiety, neurasthenia, general fatigue, and impotence. Severe varicocele can cause atrophy of the testicle on the affected side. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in time, it may affect fertility.
