Can mild varicocele heal on its own?

Patient's question:

I have mild varicocele, but I don't have any discomfort. Can it heal on its own?

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, the patient has mild varicocele. It is generally never self-healing. Sexual activity must be suppressed. Daily warm sitz baths should be maintained. Further examination in the surgical department is necessary, and surgical treatment may be required for severe cases. Avoid overexertion and prolonged standing. 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 pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
