1. Obvious symptoms: A feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the scrotum.
2. Infertility: Spermatogenic dysfunction caused by varicocele.
Although varicocele may not be the sole cause of infertility, it is at least a high-risk factor. It is recommended to start treatment with Tong Su Shu Mai Fang as early as possible, which provides warming, dispels cold, and promotes Qi flow to prevent high-altitude induced abortion.
