Left Varicocele grade(3/4)

Question

Asked for Male, 19 Years

Dr, I have been diagnosed with varicocele in my left testicle grade (3/4). The veins are visible by naked eye. But there is no discomfort or any sort of pain yet. My semen analysis was also normal. The doctor had suggested to get it operated ( varicocelectomy) as it may lead to infertility in future. Please tell me what should I do. If I should get it operated then I have a few questions. Is the surgery safe? Are there any chances of reoccurring of varicocele? Can I continue to play basketball and go to the gym after the surgery?

Hi Indications for surgery for varicocele is either pain or infertility. If both are not there you may not need it immediately. Semen analysis keeps changing every 3 months. Its not constant. Surgery can be done as elective procedure if semen analysis worsens. Surgery in good hands as such is safe and nothing to worry.
