Can I Wait To Have Surgery For Painful Varicocele?
hi i m 22 years old, i m suffering from right varicocele since i m 19years old.. The pain is tolerable, about 4 out of 10 (10 is the most painful).. My doctor (general surgeon) suggested me that i can have surgery next time, after marriage if fathering is delay. My doctor also told me that surgery is NOT NECESSARY as of now, so i can wait for more than 5 more years before having surgery. is my doctor right? thanks! :)

THANKS FOR QUERY ON HCM.
Your doctor is right,You can postponed it up to if fathering is delay.Due to varicocele there is constant increase local temperature surrounding testes.
This can kill your sperm and result in to fertility problem in future.
Surgery is always indicated at this age for verecocele called verecelactomy.
According to me 5 years period is to long.
Go for regular check up for this and take decision with your doctor's guidance.
