Patient's question:
I've been married for two years, but I haven't been able to have a child since getting married, which has been causing me great distress. As a result, I've been smoking and drinking beer frequently. Recently, I suddenly experienced abdominal pain and hematuria. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was varicocele and that surgery was necessary. I want to know if I can still get pregnant after varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
If the varicocele condition reoccurs and conservative treatment is not effective, surgical intervention should be considered. The impact of surgery on fertility is uncertain and it may potentially be affected. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the guidance of a doctor for standardized treatment. However, if the condition is severe to a certain extent and surgery is not performed, the symptoms may persist without improvement.
