How to treat if the left testicle looks slightly larger than the right?

Patient's question:

10-year-old boy, the left testicle appears slightly larger than the right, ultrasound shows mild varicocele in the left spermatic cord, with the widest diameter being 2mm. How should this be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele. The cause is due to the long course of the spermatic vein, which experiences the greatest pressure, as well as venous valve scars or incompetence. The symptoms include a sense of swelling or heaviness in the opposite scrotal area. Treatment requires adopting minimally invasive surgical methods based on the degree of varicocele. There are many different surgical techniques available, and the specific procedure you are most suitable for depends on the severity of your varicocele. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
