Does varicocele need treatment?

Patient's question:

Does varicocele require treatment? I have already had children, do I still need surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele can be divided into three levels: mild, moderate, and severe. Then, symptomatic treatment should be implemented based on the actual situation. Currently, the main treatment method for varicocele is surgical intervention. If you do not have any other discomfort symptoms at the moment, you can focus on careful observation. Have a physical examination once a year. The testicles can be stable, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
