Suffering From Right Varicocele Problem. Can It Lead To Permanent Infertility? Can Opt For Surgery Few Years Later?
hi doctors, i'm 22 years old, i'm suffering from right varicocele for more than 3 years, since i'm 19yrs old until now. my doctor said that surgery is not necessary because i can tolerate the pain.. the pain is 4 out of 10 ( 10 is most painful). My question is, is varicocele can lead to permanent infertility? and can i have surgery after 5 more years? thanks!

varicocele is very common problem and harmless.
it aggravates on standing and lifting weights which causes venous congestion.
supine posture will automatically reduce it
wear tight groin supporters when walking or standing for long.
will improve your symptoms
surgery is not needed in most cases.
