Patient's question:
The groin has recently shown mild soreness again. An ultrasound was performed, revealing mild varicocele. All other measurements were 2mm, except one which was 2.5mm. Can it be treated without surgery under strict conditions?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from varicocele, this condition can damage sperm, leading to weak or low sperm count, or even necrospermia. It is necessary to undergo a thorough examination of semen routine to confirm the diagnosis. Generally, a value below 2.1 indicates mild varicocele, while your case is above 2.5, which requires timely treatment. If your semen test results are normal, you can temporarily take medication for treatment. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, actively cooperate with your doctor, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
