Patient's question:
I am 20 years old this year, and I just returned from the army. It's possible that I got varicocele from standing guard during my military service. My family has introduced me to a partner now and wants me to get married and have children as soon as possible. However, my condition hasn't been fully treated yet, and I am very distressed. Please ask: What are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele inevitably interferes with testicular function, leading to impaired sperm development. In male infertility patients, cases of azoospermia or oligozoospermia caused by varicocele are not uncommon. The longer the varicocele persists, the greater the damage to the testicles. Therefore, once diagnosed, patients, especially those who have not fathered children, should understand the importance of early treatment. If varicocele is left untreated, it not only increases the risk of reproductive system tumors but also hinders fertility.Expert advice: Varicocele can interfere with conception. If you experience symptoms of varicocele again, do not delay seeking a diagnosis—visit a reputable hospital promptly to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment and to prevent serious consequences. In daily life, maintain a regular sex life and avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
