Patient's question:
How serious is varicocele? Does it affect fertility? Is surgery the only way to treat it? How great are the risks of surgery?Doctor's answer:
There is a condition called varicocele. Due to long-term blood retention, varicocele can lead to poor blood circulation in the testicular area, potentially causing damage to the testicular and epididymal functions. In severe cases, it may result in infertility.The treatment for varicocele, surgical intervention, is the primary method for this condition and can achieve ideal therapeutic effects. For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
