I said that I would defer to your urologist as this is a urologic problem - not a varicose vein problem. If symptomatic hebcan ligate it surgically.

Since you don't treat a varicocele with antibiotics there must be more to the story. This is outside of the scope of varicose vein disease and I would defer to your urologist.
