Can I join the army after varicocele surgery?

Patient's question:

I had an injury on my leg before, and I had surgery again in a traffic accident. It was a varicocele surgery. It's actually not a big problem, but it still had to be operated on. I've always wanted to join the army, and it's said that surgery cannot be done for joining the army. Can I join the army after having varicocele surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Previously, I injured my leg in a traffic accident and underwent surgery, specifically for varicocele. After the varicocele surgery, this condition does not affect the ability to join the military, so there is no need to worry. As long as you don't feel any discomfort, it's fine. Don't put too much mental stress on yourself, get plenty of rest, avoid overexertion, ensure you get deep and sufficient sleep, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. You will be able to pass the military health examination.
