Patient's question:
Got varicocele, don't want to go to the hospital, please ask if varicocele can heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is highly unlikely. Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. Varicocele can be accompanied by testicular atrophy and impaired sperm production, leading to male infertility. This condition does not always require surgical treatment. Those with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can use a scrotal support band or wear tight underwear. For more severe symptoms, spermatic vein can be performed, which involves ligating all branches of the spermatic veins at the internal ring. The current best treatment is laparoscopic spermatic vein ligation surgery.
