Patient's question:
Can varicocele and abnormal sperm still be surgically treated? What is the likelihood of sperm completely returning to normal?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to the recurrence of abnormal sperm, and the recurrence of abnormal sperm. First and foremost, it is essential to seek surgical treatment at a large hospital as soon as possible for severe varicocele. Patients who undergo varicocele surgery may fully recover within approximately 1 to 3 months. However, the likelihood of a complete recovery to the original condition is about 50%. In some men, sperm may fully recover to about 50% after varicocele surgery, but in others, the recovery process is generally slower.
