Patient's question:
I didn't realize I had a problem before, but later, my family and I underwent a very detailed health check. The thorough examination revealed a varicocele. I feel a bit upset, and I still want to consult more online. I always feel sad, but from an external perspective, I feel like I'm quite normal. Will a varicocele affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal anomalies are relatively common in clinical diagnosis. They typically refer to significant elongation of the epididymis or abnormal adhesion to the testis. To date, there is no precise definition or established classification method. In simple terms, it may have a certain impact on fertility. It is advisable to carefully examine the semen for any abnormalities. If none are found, it should not be a concern. For patients with epididymal conditions, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
