What are the non-surgical treatment options for grade 23 varicocele and are there any medicines that can actually cure it without needing surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Embolization is often preferred for its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery. Lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear, can help manage symptoms

I've been diagnosed with a very small reducible hernia and bilateral hydrocele. Should I consider surgery for this or are there other treatment options? I'm a bit worried about whether this needs immediate attention or if I can manage it without an operation. What would you recommend?
Hydroceles can call for surgery if they cause symptoms, become large or continue to show changes in size by about a year of age. If the hydrocele is "non-communicating," meaning there is no related indirect inguinal hernia, the hydrocele sac is taken out, often through an incision in the scrotum.
