Patient's question:
I got married to my wife, but we never had children. A while ago, my wife and I went to the hospital for a check-up. It turns out that she is fine, but they said I have varicocele, which affects the quality of my sperm, making it difficult to conceive. I feel really frustrated. Could you please explain why patients develop varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Poor local blood circulation, overexertion, and prolonged standing can all potentially lead to varicocele. In severe cases of varicocele, surgical treatment may be necessary. Generally, the surgery involves complete removal of the varicocele, although the likelihood of this condition developing is relatively low. Varicocele tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
