Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable. That feeling cannot be described in words. It affects both work and life, which is very troublesome. I would like to ask, how effective is surgical treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is primarily caused by obstruction of the return flow of the spermatic veins, which is an abnormal expansion, elongation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus within the spermatic cord. The incidence of this condition in the general male population is approximately 20%, while in infertile males, it is around 40%. It should be noted that surgical treatment is generally effective, and the prognosis after surgery is usually favorable.After varicocele surgery, the issue of venous blood caused by the dilated veins is resolved. Subsequently, the vitality and quantity of sperm gradually return to normal. Therefore, pregnancy is possible after surgery. Wishing you good health.
