Patient's question:
Over the years, my health has not been very good, and it's a bit painful. How should varicocele be treated to affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele affects fertility and requires surgical treatment. If detected early, surgery can help reverse this condition. Varicocele involves vascular inflammation, which can lead to inflammation of the testicles or epididymis, subsequently impacting pregnancy and causing infertility. Generally, medication is ineffective in treating this condition, so surgery is necessary to address the issue.
