Can varicocele of the longitudinal vein cause infertility?

Patient's question:

At the beginning, after cohabiting sexual life, I didn't feel comfortable and later didn't say anything either. I didn't get pregnant and then went to check what was wrong. The examination said varicocele. I want to know how it happened and if it can be treated? Will it lead to infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is caused by many factors, such as abnormal self-growth and development, congenital venous valve defects, and scars. Varicocele can interfere with pregnancy. Once it is diagnosed as varicocele, symptomatic medication should be administered. Go to the urology department of a municipal third-class hospital to see a professional doctor for examination, medication according to the prescribed course, and treatment. Wear pure cotton, loose, breathable underwear to keep the area dry and clean. Avoid smoking and eating spicy, irritating foods.
