Patient's question:
What should I do about mild varicocele? I want to know what causes varicocele and why it occurs. I don't have any discomfort, but I want to get pregnant. I have never been able to get pregnant. Then, after a thorough examination, it was said that I have mild varicocele. What should I do? Can it be cured? Can I still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele has multiple different causes. The clinical symptoms of patients are generally a sense of heaviness and pain in the scrotum after prolonged standing, which can sometimes radiate to the contralateral lower abdomen or inner thigh. This symptom disappears after lying down. If not treated in a timely manner, it can interfere with fertility and may lead to symptoms such as mental distress, anxiety, neurasthenia, general fatigue, and impotence. Severe varicocele can cause atrophy of the testicle on the affected side. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health.
