Patient's question:
In high school, I noticed a soft lump in my testicle, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I'm in my freshman year of college, I found that the lump has grown, so I went to the hospital. The doctor said I need to have surgery.Doctor's answer:
Varicocelectomy surgery requires hospitalization for treatment, and the surgical method can be chosen between minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and traditional open surgery.The purpose of varicocelectomy treatment has two aspects: 1. To improve local symptoms; 2. To improve semen quality.
For the first case, generally postoperative treatment can significantly alleviate the symptoms of discomfort and swelling in the scrotum.
For the second case, it should be noted that even with surgery, the improvement rate of semen quality is only about 30%.
