Patient's question:
I was carefully diagnosed with mild varicocele this year. The doctor also prescribed medication, but said it's not serious enough to require surgery or further medication. Is that okay? Also, how often should I have a follow-up check-up?Doctor's answer:
Mild varicocele, if it does not affect sperm quality, can be left untreated and does not require surgery. It is recommended that you have irregular follow-up tests. I suggest you consult a specialist doctor or a specialized hospital with your report. However, it is best to go to a public hospital to see how the screening opinions of the two doctors are roughly the same. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
