Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of varicocele? I'm worried that I might have varicocele. There's a lump in my testicle. Then my wife and I have been trying to conceive for about a year without success. So, I want to ask if anyone has symptoms of varicocele, what should I do, and can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is one of the most common scrotal masses in young people and is also a major cause of male infertility. In patients with varicocele, sperm count increases, which interferes with conception. After surgical treatment, fertility can be fully restored. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
