Patient's question:
During the military physical examination, it was said that I have varicocele. I had an inflammation once in high school, but I don't feel any pain regularly. I am 18 years old now, do I need to have surgery?Doctor's answer:
During a health check, varicocele was found. There is no pain either, so the question is whether surgery is needed. Regarding whether surgery is necessary for varicocele, it needs to be comprehensively evaluated. Second, whether there is a sense of fullness or swelling when standing for a long time. Third, the severity of the varicocele, as severe varicocele can affect the testicular ability to produce sperm and lead to infertility. It is recommended that you go to a specialized hospital for a thorough examination. If the varicocele is severe, it is better to have surgery early.
