Have Varicocele In Testis, Painful. Can I Have Surgery Later?

hello doctors, i am 22 years old. i was diagnosed to have varicocele in my right testicle for 3 years. it has slighty pain but it was tolerable. My doctor advised me that i can have surgery after marriage. My question is, can i have surgery after 5 years from now or after 10 years from now as my doctor advised me? thanks :) i can tolerate the pain, the pain is 4 out of 10. (10 is the most painful) thankyou! :)

Hi.The indication of Surgery in Varicocele is Low sperm count(Oligospermia),which is one of the causes of male infertility.As you are tolerating the mild pain,no need for Surgery at present or in the near future.If the Sperm count is normal,NO need for Varicocele surgery at any point of time.All the best.Have nice time.
