Årebrokk (varikocele): Prognose

Innhold i artikkelen

Det er få komplikasjoner til operasjon for årebrokk, men cirka ti prosent får tilbakefall.

Effekten på fruktbarhet er usikker, men er rapportert å øke hos noen av dem som har gjennomgått inngrep. Siden det tar 72 dager å utvikle en moden sædcelle, kan man ikke forvente bedring i fertiliteten før tidligst tre til fire måneder etter operasjonen.
