Patient's question:
Can varicocele surgery be felt? Can varicocele surgery be felt?Doctor's answer:
Mild varicocele may not be detectable by touch. It can be identified through a careful examination. If it is moderate to severe varicocele, it is more typical to feel, known as the "earthworm-like" texture, which is very characteristic. Of course, the gold standard is to perform a bilateral testicular color Doppler ultrasound examination. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and have a proper diet.
