Question
I've been having mild but constant pain and heaviness in my left testicle and was recently diagnosed with Grade 1 Varicocele. Do I need surgery for this or are there other options to manage it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For Grade 1 varicocele, which is a mild form with small, dilated veins, surgery is often not necessary unless it's causing significant pain or fertility issues. In most cases, non-surgical management like ice packs, pain medication, and supportive underwear can help manage symptoms. If pain persists, or if fertility is affected, surgery (varicocelectomy) might be recommended
