Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. I had experienced varicocele a while ago, and it was cured by taking medication at that time. However, it has appeared again recently. Please ask: Does varicocele affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can affect fertility. Varicocele is often caused by long-term reduced abdominal pressure, which can impair blood supply to the testicles and scrotum, leading to testicular dysfunction. Damaged testicular function can result in increased sperm quality, and in severe cases, azoospermia may occur. Therefore, it can affect fertility. It is recommended to visit a hospital to check sperm quality for a clear diagnosis.Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutrient intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
