Doctor's answer:

Hello. Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment.
Non-surgical treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report scrotal cold compresses, etc.
Surgical treatment: For severe varicocele, a history of sperm count below 20 million for three consecutive times, or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the inguinal internal venous ligation can be performed.
Additionally, for male patients during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
