Patient's question:
I have felt that my body has been very poor for these past few months, and my intuition tells me that my body must be experiencing a serious problem again. So, I went to a good municipal hospital for a thorough examination. Do you need surgery for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can be divided into three grades. Grade III is not palpable. Grade II is palpable but not visible to the naked eye, with dilated veins that can be felt by hand. Grade III is visible as dilated veins in the left scrotum, and palpable twisted veins like earthworms, which are clearly palpable. Grades I and II require conservative treatment, while Grade III requires surgical intervention. Traditional surgical methods include inguinal incision, ligation of dilated veins, and microscopic examination, now known as laparoscopic examination, which is becoming increasingly common. Endoscopic treatment of varicocele is effective, with minimal psychological trauma and rapid recovery.
