Patient's question:
After varicocele surgery, can fertility be completely restored? Because I had varicocele for about 10 years before undergoing surgery, and it had affected my ability to conceive.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the recovery from varicocele, most men can fully regain their fertility. Varicocele is a condition where the venous return in the spermatic cord is obstructed or the valves fail, leading to blood reflux and blood stasis, which causes the pampiniform plexus to become tortuous and dilated. The incidence rate in men is 10%~15%, and it is more common in young and middle-aged adults. It accounts for 15%~20% of male infertility cases. Wishing patients a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
