Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for more than 3 years, but we haven't been able to have a child. Recently, my wife and I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with her, but that I have varicocele, which affects sperm quality and makes it difficult to conceive. I am really frustrated. Could you please tell me how to treat varicocele effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Varicocele is often asymptomatic and can be detected during a health check-up, with patients possibly experiencing a sense of heaviness or fullness in the scrotum. Hello. Surgical treatment is usually required. For mild symptoms, wearing tight pants or using a scrotal support can help. Since varicocele is one of the causes of male infertility, it is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor. I hope this helps. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
