Patient's question:
Left varicocele, the doctor recommended surgery. I don't know if it can be treated with medication alone without surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, treatment for varicocele. Mild cases can be treated conservatively, which involves rest, wearing tight underwear, reducing strenuous exercise, and appropriately using blood-activating medications. However, moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, must undergo surgery. This is because varicocele obstructs blood, causing circulatory disorders in the testicles, impairing their normal sperm production and secretion functions. Over time, this can lead to testicular atrophy and the loss of all functions.
