Does a blockage in the vas deferens affect sexual life?

Patient's question:

Recently, the company arranged a full physical check-up for everyone. I went for the test, and the report said I have blocked vas deferens. I was wondering if a blocked vas deferens might affect sexual life. Because I have been preparing to start a relationship recently, and I don't really understand what the term "blocked" means in this context.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, varicocele is one of the causes of male infertility, but it does not affect sexual life; it only affects the continuation of the next generation. Varicocele refers to the inability to transport sperm to combine with an egg, but essentially, it is a different concept from sexual life. So, there is no need to worry about it affecting sexual life. However, if you have varicocele, it is best to seek early treatment. It would be bad to leave it until after marriage to deal with it.
