Patient's question:
Veterans health check-up revealed mild varicocele. I would like to know how to treat this and whether it will affect military service.Doctor's answer:
21-year-old male patient. During a veteran health check-up, a mild varicocele was carefully detected. According to the described situation, varicocele must be surgically treated. For the veteran, the expectations are not high. It can be confirmed with the military service records whether the patient will re-enlist after surgery. For varicocele patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, the patient should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life, while paying attention to personal hygiene.
