What will happen if varicocele will not be operated?

If a varicocele is not treated, it may lead to complications such as persistent pain, decreased fertility, or testicular atrophy (shrinkage of the testicle). Over time, the condition could also potentially worsen, leading to increased blood flow issues in the affected area. In some cases, individuals may experience psychological effects due to concerns about infertility or discomfort. However, not all varicoceles require surgery, and some may remain asymptomatic.
