Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for more than 4 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, making it difficult to conceive. I feel really frustrated. Could you please tell me: what can be done to effectively treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of varicocele, mild cases can be treated conservatively with appropriate medication, while moderate to severe cases or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen require surgical treatment!Suggestions:
1. Pay attention to maintaining a calm mood, avoid sudden anger that harms the liver, and pay attention to dietary adjustments, avoiding spicy foods.
2. Pay attention to balancing work and rest to prevent strenuous exercise, heavy physical labor, or prolonged standing.
3. Wear leather pants or use a scrotal support to prevent the scrotum from dropping.
Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
