Patient's question:
I am a college student. Recently, because of feeling unwell, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was varicocele. Later, it was said that surgery is required. I would like to ask if varicocele necessarily requires immediate surgery?Doctor's answer:
In general, if a student repeatedly suffers from varicocele, it is relatively serious, and surgical treatment should be adopted in a formal hospital. If not treated in a timely manner, it may also have some impact on future fertility. It is essential to pay attention to rest and prevent excessive exertion and prolonged standing. Additionally, dietary habits should be noted, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, as well as avoiding smoking and alcohol.
