Patient's question:
Does varicocele require surgery? What causes it? Why does this happen? What's going on? What should we do now? Can I still get pregnant? Is surgery necessary for it to get better? Are there any symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Mild varicocele is generally managed conservatively in clinical diagnosis, preventing prolonged standing and intense exercise, wearing tight-fitting underwear or scrotal supports, which can alleviate symptoms. Moderate varicocele is usually recommended for surgical treatment, such as high ligation. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should undergo timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
