Patient's question:
For infertility testing, the result showed that I have varicocele on both sides. The doctor said I need surgical treatment.Doctor's answer:
The incidence rate in men is 10% to 15%, and it is more common in young and middle-aged adults. It accounts for 15% to 20% of male infertility cases. Not all patients with varicocele are infertile; some patients with varicocele can still conceive without surgical treatment. However, some patients may have secondary infertility, and only surgical treatment can effectively address it. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
