A member asked:
My doc has told me to do a minor surgery on the small vericoceles , am worried about the surgery and its effects after. is the other options ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The main other option is no treatment. Often varicoceles don't require any treament- the main reason is if they cause pain or if there are fertility issues, but treatment does not always improve fertility- but is worth a try. Percutaneous embolization is another option but is also a procedure. See http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/varicocele/ds00618/dsection=treatments-and-drugs.
