Patient's question:
Approximately 3 years, the size of the testicles is consistent on the left side (3.7mm) and right side (2.6mm) with uniform echoes. In the past two years, I have been experiencing a heavy, damp sensation, especially when standing and walking. Do you have any severe symptoms? Is surgery necessary? I've heard from some people that the risk of complications after surgery is high, so I haven't had it done yet!

Hello: The normal testicular size is 2mm in your careful examination results, which is already classified as severe varicocele. Varicocele requires surgery, but the timing is a matter of when. It is a progressive condition, and if severe, it can lead to issues such as dead sperm, weak sperm, azoospermia, and abnormal sperm, ultimately resulting in infertility. If pregnancy does not occur, surgical treatment is also recommended to prevent testicular atrophy and affect the quality of sexual performance. The outcome of the surgery depends on the hospital's professional expertise and the advanced level of its equipment. It is recommended to take this seriously and seek treatment at a professional hospital to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Varicocele is a condition that tends to recur frequently.
