Can varicocele surgery cause obstruction of the vas deferens?

Patient's question:

Two years ago, a varicocele grew on my vas deferens. Out of fear of cancer, I had it surgically removed. However, after getting married, I have been unable to conceive. The doctor said that infertility is caused by the blockage of the vas deferens or its underlying causes.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, common factors or causes of obstructed spermatic ducts include: infections of the urogenital system, injuries such as hernia repair surgery, varicocele, spermatic cord tumor surgery, tumors such as epididymal tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, prostate tumors, etc., congenital malformations such as absence of the head, body, or tail of the epididymis.
