Patient's question:
Can varicocele on the left side be cured? I want to know what causes varicocele. Why is this happening? My wife has been unable to get pregnant. She had a thorough examination and it was said to be normal. A few days ago, I had a thorough examination and it was said that my sperm quality is poor and I also have varicocele. What is the reason for this? What should I do? Does varicocele interfere with pregnancy? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of left varicocele is high. For those without symptoms or with mild symptoms, elastic pants or scrotal supports can be worn. Men with severe symptoms and those with varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm, leading to infertility, should undergo surgical treatment. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the internal spermatic vein. Your condition has already affected sperm quality, so it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results.
