Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Please ask if varicose vein surgery affects fertility?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the symptoms you described, after varicocele surgery, if the semen quality returns to normal, it has little impact on fertility. However, some patients have more severe varicocele, which can affect male spermatogenesis, leading to a decline in sperm quality, such as oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, or azoospermia. Around 3 to 6 months after varicocele surgery, it is recommended to visit a local hospital for a follow-up examination. If the semen quality is normal, you can proceed with normal pregnancy planning.
