Is varicocele blockage a factor or cause of infertility?

Patient's question:

I've been married for over a year and have been trying to conceive, but I haven't been able to get pregnant yet. So, my husband and I went to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. The doctor said that my husband has a blocked vas deferens and needs treatment, otherwise it will be very difficult to get pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the main harm of vas deferens blockage is male infertility. Because the sperm of men cannot pass through the vas deferens to be expelled, but instead stays in the blocked part of the vas deferens, it makes it impossible for sperm to meet with eggs to form a fertilized egg. Without a fertilized egg, it's impossible to talk about fertility, making it one of the most common factors or causes of male infertility.
