Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated? For a while, the testicles have been uncomfortable, and I haven't been able to get pregnant for almost a year, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. After the ultrasound, it was said that it was varicocele. I want to know what it is and if it can be treated. Has it also led to the fact that I haven't been able to get pregnant yet? Is there a way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, most of whom exhibit localized soreness and a heavy sensation. The pain can radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, and waist. Symptoms may alleviate after walking or exertion and 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.
