Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband has left varicocele, and we still want to have a second child. So, I want to ask if left varicocele can affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
When varicocele reappears, the first step is to go to a local hospital to diagnose its severity. If it is mild, it can still affect male semen quality. However, if it is severe, varicocele will definitely interfere with sperm quality, leading to the recurrence of abnormal sperm or symptoms of oligospermia and asthenozoospermia. It is recommended to seek early treatment at a local hospital. If the condition is severe, surgical intervention may be necessary to alleviate the issue and prevent infertility.
