Patient's question:
Ultrasound suggests left varicocele 2.9mm, occasionally feeling pain in the left groin area. Is it serious? Does it need treatment?Doctor's answer:
Left varicocele measuring 2.9 mm, which is considered moderate varicocele. However, the patient frequently experiences left abdominal pain. This condition is generally more serious, as varicocele typically leads to scrotal pain or affects male semen quality. It is recommended to conduct further tests on semen quality. If the quality is already compromised, resulting in oligozoospermia or asthenozoospermia, it is advised to consider surgical treatment for varicocele.
