Patient's question:
What should be done about varicocele on the left side? I want to ask, what should a man do if he has varicocele on the left side? What causes this? Why does this condition occur? We want to get pregnant, but we have never known the reason. We will never get pregnant. Then, after a thorough examination, it was said that we have varicocele on the left side. What should we do? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, most of whom exhibit local discomfort and a sense of heaviness, with pain that can radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, and waist. Symptoms may alleviate after physical activity 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. Additionally, some patients may experience recurring mental distress, anxiety, neurasthenia, general fatigue, and impotence.
