Patient's question:
I got married to my wife, but we've never been able to have children. Recently, my wife and I went to the hospital for a check-up. It turns out that she's fine, but they said I have varicocele, which affects the quality of my sperm, making it difficult to conceive. I'm really frustrated. Could you please tell me: How is varicocele usually acquired?Doctor's answer:
In this case, varicocele is often caused by poor drainage of the spermatic veins or compression of the spermatic veins. Rest and avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion can be noted. It is recommended to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination in the urology department of the hospital and use medications such as Matislin tablets. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment for varicocele may be necessary in the urology department of the hospital. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication maintenance. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment in professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
