Patient's question:
Will varicocele be cured? Can it be okay without treatment? My wife has always been absolutely certain she couldn't get pregnant and has undergone continuous check-ups, treatments, and surgeries, spending a lot of money. Now, I've also been diagnosed with varicocele, so I'm wondering if I can skip treatment. If I don't treat it, will it be cured? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Whether varicocele can be cured mainly depends on its severity. The treatment for varicocele, for mild cases, can be conservative, which involves rest, wearing tight-fitting underwear, increasing intense exercise, and appropriately using blood-activating medications, among other methods. Mild varicocele can be cured. However, moderate to severe varicocele, or varicocele accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, must be treated with surgery. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results.
