Patient's question:
I have varicocele on the left side. The doctor recommended me to have a microscopic surgery. I would like to ask, what is the difference between microscopic surgery and minimally invasive surgery? Which one is better? What are the hazards of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
1、Most patients are told by the doctor when to follow up upon discharge; generally, a follow-up visit to the hospital can be scheduled 1-2 weeks later.2、It is recommended to seek treatment and undergo a thorough examination at a local Grade III-A hospital or higher. Mild varicocele without symptoms usually does not require treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, methods such as reporting scrotal symptoms, cold compresses, and other adjustments may be applied. Pay attention to maintaining good lifestyle habits, avoid frequent sexual activity, ensure adequate rest, do not overwork or consume alcohol excessively, and avoid prolonged sitting. Drink more water.
