Patient's question:
Can varicocele on the left side be cured? I want to know what causes varicocele, why does this happen? My wife has been unable to get pregnant, and after a thorough examination, it was said that everything is normal. A few days ago, I had a thorough examination and it was said that the quality of my sperm is poor and that I 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 infertility due to varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm 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 diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results.
