Patient's question:
Two years ago, I had the left varicocele ligation surgery, but now I feel it has returned, on both sides, especially the right side is very severe. What should I do? Is surgery absolutely necessary? What impact does it have on the body? Now, as soon as I get tired, the lower part swells.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, varicocele is generally caused by long-term standing or heavy physical labor leading to poor drainage of the spermatic veins, resulting in edema. For the current condition, it is recommended to first undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination. Based on the examination results, surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sex life in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
