Patient's question:
Hello, I have varicocele and want to consult about this disease. How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to male infertility through various different pathways. It not only disrupts the regeneration of sperm but also causes an increase in sperm vitality. Therefore, patients with severe varicocele still need to consider active treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as reporting the scrotum and applying cold compresses are recommended. For more severe varicocele, continuous sperm count below 20 million for three times in a row, or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the varicocelectomy can be performed.
