Can Surgery For Right Varicocele Be Delayed?
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 after marriage if fathering is delay. My doctor also told me that surgery is NOT NECESSARY as of now because i don't have wife now and i'm still single, so i can wait for more than 5 more years before having surgery. is my doctor right? thanks! :)

HI WELCOME TO HCM.
YOUR DOCTOR IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.THERE ARE ONLY TWO INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY FOR VARICOCELE
1.SEVERE PAIN
2.INFERTILITY
SINCE YOUR PAIN IS TOLERABLE AND YOU ARE NOT MARRIED,BOTH THE INDICATIONS DO NOT RISE.MOREOVER JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE VARICOCELE DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE LOW SPERM COUNT.
SO THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY..
