Patient's question:
Hello doctor, can you join the army with several mild varicoceles? Will you pass the health check? What problems will it cause to your body?Doctor's answer:
Due to varicocele patients experiencing a sense of heaviness and pain in the scrotal area, the symptoms become more pronounced when walking or standing for prolonged periods, and only subside after lying down. If such patients join the military, where they are required to manage high-intensity physical training daily, it is obviously not feasible for them to perform their duties. Additionally, many varicocele patients are caused by compression from retroperitoneal tumors, renal tumors, etc. For these patients, military service is strictly prohibited.Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period.
