Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found a relatively mild varicocele. Can varicocele cause azoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, if relatively mild, generally will not lead to azoospermia. Varicocele, even if very severe, will never affect sperm production because sperm production is the function of the testes, primarily carried out by Leydig cells in the testes. Varicocele is related to the evaporation time of semen, so there is no absolute relationship between the two. Pay attention to dietary habits in daily life, consume more vegetables and easily digestible foods. Strengthen physical fitness and enhance immunity.
