When varicocele surgery necessary?
VaricoceleAnswer
Varicocele surgery becomes necessary when the condition is causing specific problems that affect your health, comfort, or ability to have children. Many varicoceles are small and cause no issues, and in those cases, no treatment is needed. However, surgery is typically recommended in a few key situations. Firstly, if you are experiencing male infertility and a semen analysis shows poor sperm quality, treating the varicocele can often improve your fertility. Secondly, if the varicocele is causing persistent, bothersome pain or discomfort that isn't relieved by simple measures, surgery can provide a permanent solution.
Thirdly, in adolescents and young men, if the varicocele is causing the affected testicle to shrink or fail to grow properly (testicular atrophy), surgery is necessary to prevent long-term damage. The decision is always made based on your circumstances. To determine if surgery is the right step for you, a consultation with the specialists at SCI Hospital is highly recommended. You can book an appointment online or by phone.
