Patient's question:
My son is 30 years old and has severe left varicocele. He had surgery in 2005 and another minimally invasive procedure in 2011. However, it has recurred about a year ago and still looks severe like before. How should it be treated? Can medication help?Doctor's answer:
It was decided to undergo surgical treatment, as medication could not control the condition. Moreover, in cases like this, if varicocele is too severe, it may interfere with future fertility. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as early as possible to achieve successful conception in a timely manner. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for management. Additionally, for male patients, it is crucial to immediately seek diagnosis at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, as well as maintain good personal hygiene.
