Can the testicles become smaller after varicocele surgery and recover?

Patient's question:

Varicocele has been a problem for many years. I just had surgery and feel that my testicles are smaller than others. Can this be completely restored?

Doctor's answer:

Because the testicles of normal adult males are naturally of unequal size. If your testicles have become smaller after surgery, the consideration is related to blood circulation. In some cases, it cannot be determined by feeling alone. Many patients believe their testicles are small, but when we review the detailed information, we find that their testicles are actually of normal size. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
