Should I Go For A Surgery To Relieve Pain Due To Varicocele?
Son is 20 and just diagnosised with Varicocele. He does have pain. He is in the AF as a firefighter. Because of the pain should he have the surgery? The military doctors are saying that if he has the surgery it might not relieve the pain and it could cause infertility. He is very confused and worried

HI
Well come to HCM
if this is pure varicocele then surgery is the only option left, with the worse condition of varicocele surgery would be difficult and some time have bad end result like orchiectomy to avoid this better to get done the surgery, this is not true that pain would not subsides after the surgery, fertility would be questionable, hope this helps.
