Patient's question:
On the left testicle, there is a plump, thick vein right next to the testicle, about as thick as a little finger. Is it moderate varicocele? I am 25 years old, will it interfere with fertility? If treatment is needed, must surgery be performed?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is the manifestation of varicocele. Have you had a detailed ultrasound examination? You can go to the hospital for a few ultrasounds of the scrotal area for a check. At the same time, you can also have a few semen tests. As long as the quality of the semen is not a major problem, it will not be affected by fertility in general. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
