Does varicocele cause infertility?

Patient's question:

What problems will men face if they get varicocele? Does it affect fertility? Also, does varicocele lead to male infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, varicocele can cause symptoms such as scrotal swelling, heaviness, and pain. In men with varicocele, about two-thirds are likely to experience recurrent abnormal semen, which can lead to male infertility. Severe varicocele requires surgical treatment, and the costs vary depending on the hospital and region. The specific details depend on the level of the hospital! The main costs consist of preoperative examinations, surgical fees, and postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment.
