Patient's question:
Does varicocele require surgical treatment? Left internal diameter is 0.28 cmDoctor's answer:
The main symptom of varicocele is a feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the perineum, which can affect sperm quality and lead to infertility. The primary cause of varicocele is the dysfunction or absence of valves in the spermatic veins. In your case, you likely have moderate to severe varicocele. You should go to the hospital for a routine semen analysis. If it has already affected sperm quality, surgery may be necessary to treat it, specifically a high ligation of the spermatic vein. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, so long-term medication is required. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals.
