Patient's question:
We have a colleague who carefully identified a varicocele. Could you please tell us the probability of infertility with a varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Testicular varicocele infertility accounts for 15% to 20%. Generally, this condition often recurs in men around the ages of 30 to 40. If this condition persists, it can have a serious impact on fertility. Therefore, once the disease is detected, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional hospital. After active treatment, it may be possible to have children. When necessary, it is recommended to opt for surgery for more secure management. Otherwise, the impact on healthy conception would be relatively significant. It is also important to avoid extremely cold foods, considering the progression of the condition.
