Does varicocele require surgery?

Patient's question:

I have varicose veins, and they suggested I have surgery. So I want to ask if varicocele requires surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, varicocele is generally confirmed through a careful ultrasound examination of the urinary and reproductive system. In theory, if the condition is relatively severe, surgery is recommended. For mild cases, medication or lifestyle changes, along with the use of a scrotal support, can be effective in providing support. It is advisable to minimize exercises that involve downward pressure on the abdomen. Additionally, surgical treatment is necessary as there is a risk of complications. Wishing you good health.
