Patient's question:
Symptoms of varicocele. I want to ask, what are the symptoms if a man suffers from varicocele? What causes it? What should I do if I want to get pregnant? Can it be treated? What should we do? Do varicoceles have symptoms? Can I still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, most of whom exhibit local soreness and a heavy sensation. The pain can radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, and waist. Symptoms may alleviate after walking or exertion, and they can be reduced or relieved after rest or lying flat. Varicocele is one of the most common scrotal masses in young people and is also a significant cause of male infertility. In patients with varicocele, sperm count increases, which interferes with conception. After surgical treatment, fertility can be fully restored. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the general treatment period is usually long.
