Do you know whether varicocele can affect fertility?

Varicocele is a common disease in men's medicine. If not treated in time, it will have a great impact on male fertility. It is also very common to cause infertility. If it is a mild varicocele, scientific treatment will not affect fertility.

1. Many friends think that the symptoms of mild varicocele are not obvious and do not cause other discomfort, so they think that no treatment is needed. This view is wrong. The biggest harm of varicocele is that it will cause male infertility. Even mild varicocele may cause infertility. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary.

2. Varicocele is currently a male disease with a high incidence rate. Mild varicocele often occurs in young and middle-aged people. Although most of them have no obvious symptoms, it should be given enough attention, otherwise the disease will gradually develop and affect male fertility. Many friends believe that mild varicocele does not require treatment. In fact, even mild varicocele needs timely treatment. If it is delayed, the disease may worsen, which will cause a series of complications. Severe cases may even cause male infertility, which is not good.

3. Experts say that the impact of mild varicocele mainly depends on whether it affects the quality of semen . Varicocele is caused by blood stasis in the spermatic vein, which may cause the temperature in the scrotum to rise. The temperature of the testicles will also rise by 1°C to 2°C. If the temperature continues to rise for a long time, it will affect the production of sperm in the testicles, and eventually lead to azoospermia and oligospermia. The epididymis is also not conducive to the maturation of sperm, thus leading to male infertility.

4. Therefore, whether mild varicocele will affect fertility or not, you should go to the hospital for a semen test. If it affects the semen, you should receive surgical treatment in time.
