Patient's question:
Can mild varicocele be cured without treatment? I have mild varicocele, no discomfort symptoms, don't want surgery, can it be cured? Can it be cured like me? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as scrotal cold compresses can be applied. For more severe varicocele, where sperm count remains below 20 million for three consecutive times or there is testicular atrophy; the varicocelectomy procedure, where the high ligation of the internal spermatic vein is performed, is suitable if the varicosed veins disappear when lying down.Recommendation: It is best to consult and undergo thorough examination and treatment at a local reputable large hospital. Timely medical examination at a formal hospital is essential to determine the degree of varicocele before targeted treatment.
The left spermatic cord is relatively long, and the venous valves are prone to recurrent inflammation, which can lead to varicocele.
