The need for surgery for moderate varicocele is determined by whether the patient has clinical symptoms.
Surgery is required when the patient has discomfort and pain in the ipsilateral testicle and abnormal semen quality in preparation for pregnancy. Patients with moderate varicocele, who are young and do not have serious symptoms, can be treated with non-surgical treatment.
1. Surgery: Varicocele may lead to a decrease in sperm quality and vitality, and surgery is generally recommended to restore male fertility. If a man who has already given birth to a child develops varicocele, it is important to see if there are obvious clinical complaints of scrotal swelling and testicular pain. Depending on the patient’s request, surgery is also an option.
2. No need for surgery: Varicocele patients with less serious symptoms can continue to be observed or treated with medicines that activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body) according to the doctor’s instruction. Surgery is also not recommended for young varicocele patients, who can be treated with medication or other treatments according to the doctor’s instructions.
Patients with moderate varicocele should pay attention to maintaining good living habits. Try to avoid staying up late, pay attention to rest, carry out appropriate physical exercise, and try to maintain a regular sex life. Specific treatment should be guided by the doctor after perfecting the relevant examination.
