Patient's question:
The check said it was varicocele, how much is it related to not being able to get an erectionDoctor's answer:
The incidence of varicocele in the general male population is approximately 20%, and in infertile males, it is around 40%. This condition is more common in adult males and relatively less frequent in adolescents. However, it does not affect erectile function. Severe cases can lead to infertility. Varicocele is a vascular disorder and is more commonly found on the left side. The right side is more frequently involved in bilateral cases, while isolated right-sided varicocele is rare. Varicocele is the leading cause of male infertility.
