Is varicocele common?

Patient's question:

I want to ask the doctor, I recently had a varicose vein surgery at the hospital, is varicocele common?

Doctor's answer:

Recently, I had a varicocele surgery at the hospital. This surgery is a relatively common procedure in urology, as varicocele is a common disease that often affects the left side. Some patients may experience a sensation of heaviness in the scrotum, which can be relieved by lying down but worsens during fatigue. The surgery typically takes about [number] hours. After the surgery, it's important to change the dressing on time to prevent infection. Avoid spicy foods like chili peppers. You will recover quickly, so don't worry.
