Varicocele (VC) is mostly seen in young adults, and its incidence rate accounts for 10%~15% of the normal male population, and 19%~41% of male infertility. At present, the incidence rate is also gradually increasing. So what kind of disease is varicocele? Can it affect fertility?
Varicocele
Varicocele (VC) is a common urogenital disease in men, and it is also the main cause of male infertility.
"It is a vascular spermatogenesis disorder caused by the expansion of the spermatic veins and racemose venous plexus that surround the spermatic cord.". The most common disease is on the left side, but it can also occur bilaterally or singly on the right side.
Varicocele can lead to 35% primary infertility and 75% - 80% secondary infertility. If it is more difficult to have a second child than a first child, it is due to the decline in male fertility.

The dilated and tortuous veins can be seen on the surface of the male scrotum. In addition, when men suffer from varicocele disease, it can affect the body's immune capacity, resulting in physical fatigue, nervousness, insomnia, dreaminess, headaches, and other phenomena. Feel with your hand for a soft mass like an earthworm. Lying flat can alleviate or eliminate symptoms.
In sexual life, male sexual dysfunction, such as ejaculation, impotence, premature ejaculation, inability to ejaculate, pain in ejaculation, weak lifting yang, frigidity, and decreased sexual function, are often caused by suffering from varicocele.
In daily sexual life, young men often suffer from varicocele symptoms when they often experience local pain. For example: scrotal pain. Hidden pain and bloating can increase if a man walks or stands for a long time, but after lying flat, the symptoms can be relieved or disappear.

Treatment of varicocele
medication
Drug treatment can effectively alleviate the symptoms of patients with varicocele, stimulate the production of testosterone (testosterone, testosterone, or testosterone, secreted by the male testicles or female ovaries, and the adrenal gland also secretes a small amount of testosterone, which has the effects of maintaining muscle strength and quality, maintaining bone density and strength, refreshing, and improving physical performance) in male testicular interstitial cells, promote the production of sperm in the seminiferous tubules, and improve semen quality, Improving the pregnancy rate in women is a major measure for conservative treatment of varicocele patients, and is suitable for patients with mild conditions or patients whose semen quality has not significantly improved after surgical treatment.
surgical treatment
Patients with severe varicocele need to receive surgical treatment as soon as possible, perhaps with assistance in their treatment, including open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and microsurgical low ligation of the spermatic vein.
Can varicocele be fertile?
Experts pointed out that
In clinical practice, 80% of patients with varicocele can have normal fertility, while only 20% of patients cannot have normal fertility due to low sperm count, low sperm motility, and low sperm survival rate.
