Patient's question:
The other day, I was checked and found that I had a male disease. I'm very worried about whether it will affect fertility. I'm not married yet. Do I need treatment for mild varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. It is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults, characterized by the dilatation, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus (vein vascular) caused by venous blood stasis in the spermatic cord. Medication or dietary therapy is not very effective and may affect fertility. Surgical treatment is the best option for better outcomes.
