Patient's question:
I have varicocele, and it hurts every time my penis gets erect. I can also see many prominent veins. Now I can't wear tight underwear. What will happen if this condition worsens?Doctor's answer:
When varicocele is severe, it can cause swelling and pain in the genital area. It may also interfere with normal male life, especially if left untreated for a long time, which can significantly disrupt sexual life, such as causing low libido or sexual dysfunction. The most serious aspect of this condition is its interference with normal fertility and sperm quality. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect fertility.
