Patient's question:
Currently, there is a varicocele of 3.4mm on the left side. If varicocele surgery is performed, will it definitely be cured? Will the surgery interfere with future survival? How long does one need to recuperate after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
You have varicocele on the left side, with a diameter of 3.4 mm, which meets the criteria for surgery, meaning surgical intervention is necessary. After the surgery, you can be completely cured. Currently, the procedure performed is retroperitoneal high ligation of the internal spermatic vein. After the surgery, your life will not be affected in any way. It will take about a week to return to normal. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is required. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
