Patient's question:
Left leg feels a bit numb, not very numb, just uncomfortableDoctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause blood stasis in the testis and its surrounding tissues, reducing blood flow. This leads to a decrease in the nutrients required for sperm development and growth, impairing sperm maturation. Varicocele accounts for 30% to 40% of male infertility cases. This condition does not always require surgical treatment. For younger, unmarried individuals with symptoms, a scrotal support band can be used to elevate the scrotum, alleviating symptoms. These patients often experience symptom resolution after marriage. In cases with more severe symptoms, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed.
