Patient's question:
Varicocele was discovered over 2 years ago without any pain sensation, with visibly thick tubes that could be felt by hand. At the hospital, during the ultrasound examination, it was detected and a semen analysis was conducted, which did not meet all the standards. The doctor said it could lead to infertility.Doctor's answer:
Severe varicocele can affect sperm quality, leading to male infertility, making varicocele one of the causes of male infertility. If a careful ultrasound examination confirms that the varicocele exceeds the clinical diagnostic criteria, it is recommended to undergo surgery promptly for high ligation of the spermatic vein. A follow-up semen analysis should be conducted three months after the surgery. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
