Will varicocele surgery cause testicular atrophy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, does varicocele surgery cause testicular atrophy? I had surgery on the left side two months ago, and now I feel that the left testicle is cold and much smaller than the right. A month ago, an ultrasound showed that the size and shape of the testicles were normal. Is it necessary to have another examination now?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, such surgery generally does not interfere. If the local discomfort symptoms are significant, take time to revisit the urology department of the hospital for follow-up and undergo several detailed ultrasound examinations to confirm the diagnosis. In addition to treating male urological diseases, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
