Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for over three years, but we haven't been able to have a child. Recently, my wife and I went to the hospital for a check-up. It turns out that she is fine, but I have varicocele, which affects the quality of my sperm, making it difficult to conceive. I am really frustrated. Could you please tell me where I can go to treat and improve varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The severity of varicocele cannot be determined based on the diameter of the spermatic vein; it must be diagnosed according to clinical symptoms. Because varicocele obstructs blood, it can lead to circulatory disorders in the testicles, impairing their ability to produce sperm and excrete waste. Over time, this can cause the testicles to swell and lose all functionality. Whether surgery is necessary must be confirmed after a thorough examination by the treating physician.Avoid alcohol and spicy foods. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, take medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
