How To Recover From Varicocele?
Hi. My husband has varicocele. Can you recommend an athletic supporter for him?
He is 60 years old and is a building contractor who does heavy lifting. Is there anything else he can do? He has gone to see a specialist, and they told him that surgery might not fix the pain. Any thoughts?

Hello,
I can understand your concern for your symptoms, an athletic supporter cannot be the option for varicocele. Post surgery there will be pain and its only a temp. issue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
