Does varicocele lead to testicular atrophy?

Patient's question:

Does varicocele cause testicular atrophy? Why can I sometimes ejaculate sperm, but sometimes there is none, and the amount ejaculated is also very small? Does varicocele cause testicular atrophy?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele will never lead to testicular atrophy. You don't need to worry too much. It is recommended that you go to a regular public hospital's urology department for a thorough examination. After identifying the cause, additional treatment can be provided. For varicocele patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication in a timely manner and avoid overexertion in daily life.
