Patient's question:
On October 17th, a thorough examination of varicocele was conducted: left side 3.0 cm wide, right side 3.5 cm wide. On November 4th, the left side was measured at 3.2 cm and the right side at 3.7 cm. Why is the right side more severe? The sperm vitality seems to be around 8%.Doctor's answer:
The condition described is varicocele, which is generally believed to be related to factors such as venous valve insufficiency and weak venous walls. Varicocele often recurs on the left side, but it can also occur on the right side. Additionally, due to factors such as post-mortem examinations, the condition may differ between both sides. For varicocele that interferes with sperm viability, surgical treatment is often required, along with adequate hydration and maintaining a positive mood.
