Patient's question:
Does varicocele on the left side require surgery? I occasionally have pain near my testicles, which is persistent but goes away after a while. It recurs about 3-4 times a year. I recently had an ultrasound and discovered this issue. Is the problem serious? Does it require surgery?Doctor's answer:
In this case, treatment should be provided based on how the patient accompanies infertility or abnormal semen quality, whether there are clinical diagnostic symptoms, the degree of varicocele, and whether there are other complications. Treatment methods include general treatment, medication treatment, and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is the primary method and can achieve ideal treatment effects. Patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment while paying attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
