Hello, is varicocele severe? Varicocele is a common disease in young and middle-aged men. Most cases present with local soreness and a heavy sensation, which can radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, and waist. Symptoms may alleviate after walking or exertion, and they can be reduced or relieved after rest or lying flat. Varicocele is one of the more common scrotal swellings in young people and is also a significant cause of male infertility. In patients with varicocele, sperm count increases, affecting fertility. After surgical treatment, fertility can be restored. The first step in treating infertility is to identify the underlying cause, followed by developing an appropriate screening plan. We recommend that you visit a formal and professional infertility hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive treatment based on your specific condition.
