Patient's question:
I am going to join the army this year, but during the health check, it was found that there is varicocele in the left spermatic vein, about the size of a fingernail when standing, and it disappears when lying down. Is it serious? I want to join the army, but is there a way to quickly treat it through surgery?Doctor's answer:
This disease can be cured through surgical treatment. There is no need to be overly anxious. It is recommended that you go to a local regular general hospital's urology department for surgical treatment, which generally takes about ten days to recover. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
