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.
