Do you need surgery for varicocele?

Patient's question:

Is varicocele serious? Does it require surgery? I previously visited the hospital, and the expert did not recommend surgery.

Doctor's answer:

25 years old, male. Varicocele can be classified as mild or severe. If it's mild, surgery is not necessary. If it's particularly severe, surgery may be required. Whether surgery is needed should be determined based on the examination results and your symptoms. My advice to you is:
1. Don't have too much pressure.
2. This condition is often caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits. Try to quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, and keep your blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and body weight within the normal range.
3. Avoid excessive salt and greasy foods.
4. You can also take pictures of the top and bottom of your tongue and send them to me. This will help assess your overall constitution and allow me to prescribe herbal medicine for regulation.
5. Your underwear should be neither too tight nor too loose. Pay attention to hygiene.
