Patient's question:
I've been married for a year and a half. We've been having sex during ovulation, but we haven't been able to get pregnant. My husband and I have both gone to the hospital for check-ups, and it's his problem—he has varicocele. So, can we still have children?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Varicocele can lead to an increase in testicular temperature in men, making it easier to develop azoospermia or oligozoospermia, which directly affects fertility. Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment. Moderate varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia can be treated by supporting the scrotum or applying cold compresses. Severe varicocele may require high ligation of the spermatic vein. After successful treatment, it is possible to have children.
