Patient's question:
22 years old this year, the doctor took a look and said there was varicocele in the left testicle. Hello, is it dangerous to have surgery at this age? Can sexual life still be carried out? Will it interfere with fertility?Doctor's answer:
This area has developed varicose veins again, mostly due to sitting for long periods. Maintaining the same posture makes it easy for this condition to recur, leading to poor circulation. It may also affect fertility. If the patient's symptoms are significant, it is recommended to start with oral medication and change positions frequently to avoid prolonged sitting. If the symptoms do not improve, surgical treatment can be considered. Surgery may have some impact on sperm quality. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, take medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet during the treatment period.
