Patient's question:
In my varicocele, it is painful but not often, just vague and occasional pain. In February, I went to the doctor and found that the varicocele was very painful. The doctor told me to have surgery. I went to the gynecology department for a check-up and found that my sperm quality was not good. What should I do if the varicocele causes testicular atrophy?Doctor's answer:
Long-term varicocele may lead to poor sperm quality or testicular atrophy, but you don't have a lot of time to feel it now. It may not necessarily be testicular atrophy, but only your own feeling. Because in this case, there will be pain because the sperm quality is somewhat affected. You should consider surgery. Drugs are ineffective for this; the surgery itself may have complications, but the likelihood of recurrence is very low. You don't need to worry.
