Patient's question:
I never thought my husband would get such a disease. My husband and I got divorced a year ago because we couldn't get pregnant. We went to the hospital for thorough examinations, and I thought it was because of my irregular menstruation that made it difficult to give birth. But it turned out that my husband also had varicocele. The doctor said he needed surgery. Without surgery, can varicocele be cured?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, if left untreated, is basically difficult to recover completely without surgery. In other words, if the varicocele is mild, it can be treated with strict medical care, dietary adjustments, and suppression. If it is moderate to severe or worse, surgery is the only option, as drug treatment is not very effective. The main approach is to suppress lifestyle habits, minimizing actions that involve downward abdominal pressure, in addition to avoiding sexual intercourse. Post-surgery, there is a higher risk of recurrence.
