Can surgery improve varicocele condition?

Patient's question:

Varicocele 3.6 on the left, 2.5 on the right. My main symptoms are a heavy sensation in the groin.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition, as described, can temporarily avoid surgical treatment and continue with observation. The general clinical treatment principles are as follows:
Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment.
Non-surgical treatment: Mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia can be managed by wearing an scrotal support, cold compresses, or symptomatic treatment.
Surgical treatment: Severe varicocele, a sperm count below 20 million per cubic centimeter for three consecutive times, or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying down, inguinal vein can be performed.
