At what age should varicocele treatment be considered?

#1 · 26 October 2024, 6:44 PM

Varicoceles are often diagnosed in teenage or young adult males. Treatment in adolescents is usually considered if the varicocele is causing pain, testicular atrophy, or affects growth on one side of the scrotum.

For adults, treatment is considered if they experience pain, infertility, or testicular atrophy. Varicocele repair can be effective at any age, but younger men with symptoms or fertility concerns often benefit most from early intervention, as this can prevent further damage to testicular tissue and increase the chances of a successful recovery.
