Patient's question:
Previously, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with bilateral varicocele. The doctor at the hospital did not recommend surgery for me, but I insisted that I must have it because I have to undergo military physical examination this year. The doctor suggested doing one side, saying the other side might be caused by the left side. I can feel that the left blood vessel sometimes swells, but the right side doesn't have this condition. However, why is the right side still wider than the left? The doctor said it's unclear whether both sides can be done.Doctor's answer:
How long have you been in this condition? According to the results, both sides are almost the same. The surgeon suggested that you have a color Doppler ultrasound done at another hospital for a check-up. Compare the results from the two hospitals. I feel that you should not seek treatment just because you are in the military, but rather choose treatment based on your physical condition. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not timely, it may affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
