Does varicocele have an impact on the prostate?

Patient's question:

Testicles feel a bit uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the result showed left varicocele. I'm a bit hard to believe. The doctor helped me guess what the current condition of my illness is, how serious it is, and how my prostate is.

Doctor's answer:

Please check the results to see that there are no issues with the prostate. This varicocele is classified as II~III degree, and surgery can be considered. Varicocele itself is not a major disease and is not considered serious. Even if it is serious, it can at most affect sperm quality, leading to infertility. Currently, it is recommended to undergo varicocele surgery at a regular hospital's urology department. The patient should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
