Patient's question:
My son is 21 years old this year. He has been in good health since he was a child, but his weight has always been very low. No matter how much he eats, he doesn't gain weight. Therefore, he is worried about his health condition, so he took him to the hospital for a check-up. The result of the thorough examination was varicocele. Since I haven't heard of this disease before, I would like to ask if varicocele can lead to sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele has a relatively minor impact on sexual function, but if it is severe and noticeable, it may cause edema-like pain. Recurrent issues include increased difficulty during sexual activity, lack of sexual desire or thoughts, or pain during erection, making it impossible to achieve normal erection. The primary treatment for severe varicocele is surgery to correct it. For mild cases, treatment methods can be considered. Male diseases like this are not easily resolved. Friends with these conditions should maintain a positive mindset and face them with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating male diseases and believe that recovery is definitely achievable.
