Varicocele is not a dangerous disease, nor does it cause too much pain for the patient. Surgery is one of the effective treatment methods for patients with varicocele.

Varicocele is one of the causes of infertility in men with a fairly high rate. However, timely and proper treatment will help men still have children normally. Can men with varicocele have children?

Varicocele can cause infertility in men because it causes reduced sperm motility along with other problems such as sperm deformity, reduced testicular size, and high immature sperm count.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 40% of primary infertile men and 69-81% of secondary infertile men have mild varicocele. The disease interferes with sperm production.

When performing a paraclinical examination, through ultrasound, the doctor will conclude that the patient has varicocele if the spermatic vein diameter is greater than 2.5 mm.
