Patient's question:
Can varicocele on the left side be cured? I always thought I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but after getting married for more than a year, my wife hasn't been pregnant yet, and the family has been very anxious. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, they said it was varicocele on the left side. I want to know what causes this and whether it can be cured. Can I still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The high ligation of internal spermatic vein is the most effective treatment for infertility caused by varicocele. The general surgical approach involves ligating the entire spermatic vessels. In pregnancy-oriented varicocelectomy, the spermatic artery is freed and preserved, especially important for those with the goal of complete recovery of fertility. However, many medical professionals currently fail to achieve this during surgical treatment due to technical limitations. Therefore, patients with fertility recommendations must choose specialized hospitals like ours to avoid unnecessary detours. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment.
