Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated? Is surgery necessary?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele has little impact on health, and most cases can be cured after marriage. Once diagnosed, it is important to rest, balance activity and rest, and actively participate in beneficial cultural and recreational activities. For patients with more severe symptoms, it may affect fertility, and surgical treatment, such as high ligation of the spermatic vein, should be performed at the hospital. Generally, mild symptoms may not require any treatment, and a scrotal support bandage can be used to lift and protect the scrotum. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
