Patient's question:
I have plans to have children, but I suffer from varicocele, and it's quite severe. Does it have an impact? What are the effects of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a vascular disorder of spermatogenesis caused by the expansion of the spermatic veins surrounding the spermatic cord and the pampiniform plexus. Traditional surgery can affect sperm quality. In general surgical treatment, an inguinal incision is made to ligate the high spermatic vein, and some dilated veins within the scrotum are removed. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and a light diet are essential. Patients should avoid stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
