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 feel really frustrated. Please ask: How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the consideration of your condition, it is possible that you may have varicocele. Varicocele may lead to local blood clots due to drainage obstruction of the spermatic veins, resulting in pain in the scrotum, secondary inflammation, and even complications such as infertility. There are no specific dietary restrictions.Varicocele generally requires early consideration for surgery or aggressive treatment depending on the severity of the condition. It is recommended to follow up at a qualified hospital's general surgery outpatient clinic when necessary. Combining ultrasound examinations, physical examinations by physicians, and comprehensive evaluation of medical history will help determine whether further surgical treatment is needed.
