Can severe varicocele be cured with medication?

Patient's question:

Left varicocele 4.2, right 2.2. Except for surgery, how can it heal naturally with other methods? Can it be cured by taking medication?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is generally more common on the left side and relatively rare on the right. This condition can range from mild to severe. In mild cases, no special treatment is required, but in severe cases, it can interfere with the development of sperm on the same side, thereby affecting fertility. Therefore, treatment is necessary, typically involving surgery to ligate the high position of the spermatic vein. Medication is ineffective. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
