Varicocele is a relatively stubborn disease that is common in middle-aged and young men. Varicocele, as the name suggests, occurs in the spermatic veins of the testicles. Varicocele is a common vascular disease, but most people suffer from it in the legs and other areas. It can appear curved and protruding like a small snake, affecting blood flow in the legs and making it difficult to treat. Can children be born after suffering from varicocele? Will the child born be abnormal?

1、 Etiology of varicocele

Varicocele is caused by abnormal elongation, dilation, and tortuosity of the tendrils in the spermatic cord, and is more common in young adults, especially on the left side. Patients often experience swelling and dull pain in the scrotum, which worsens after prolonged walking and standing, and alleviates when lying flat. Severe infertility can be diagnosed through urological examination. The etiology of varicose veins is complex and closely related to lifestyle habits and venous development. It is generally difficult to recover. In severe cases, surgical treatment is required. In this case, it is necessary to check the severity of the disease in the urology department.

2、 Can varicocele give birth to children?

Varicocele is very common in clinical practice. Generally speaking, severe varicocele can cause severe congestion and hypoxia in the testes, thereby affecting the spermatogenic function of the testes, leading to a decrease in semen quality and sperm motility. This situation usually leads to infertility. If it is a mild varicocele and does not affect semen quality, it generally does not affect pregnancy. It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for routine semen examination. If the sperm quality is normal, they can be prepared for pregnancy. If there are problems that require early surgical treatment, the drug effect is not good.

3、 Can a child born with varicocele be abnormal?

For example, the combination of poor quality sperm and eggs may affect the birth of a baby, but this is not absolute. Poor sperm quality refers to poor motility of the sperm and does not represent poor genetic material contained within it. Whether a child's health depends on their development depends on the quality of your own sperm. If your own sperm quality is defective, it can easily lead to accidents. It is recommended that patients with varicocele be treated as soon as possible. Although varicocele is closely related to male infertility, the pathophysiology of testicular dysfunction caused by varicocele is still unclear, and there is no theory to explain why varicocele causes male infertility. This may be due to VC increasing testicular temperature, causing testicular hypoxia, affecting the ability of the testicles to produce sperm, inhibiting gonadal hormones, and disrupting the immune barrier or kidneys of the testes and epididymis Related to factors such as reflux of adrenal metabolites.

Overall, varicocele does have a serious impact on male fertility, but if it is mild, the impact of this disease can be almost negligible. But if it is severe, it will inevitably damage the function of the testicles, leading to infertility and even severe azoospermia. However, regardless of the quality of sperm, it is not related to the child born, and there is no absolute connection between sperm quality and whether the genetic material inside is normal!
