Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, I learned about varicocele. How should it be treated for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is likely that you are referring to varicocele. It is generally more common on the left side. In clinical diagnosis, we typically grade it by comparing it to the testicle. If the worm-like cluster of dilated veins is below the testicle, we classify it as mild; if it is equal to the testicle, it is moderate; and if it is above the testicle, it is severe. It is recommended that you have a thorough examination with an ultrasound for precise grading. Generally, we advocate surgical treatment for varicoceles that are moderate or severe, while mild cases can be carefully monitored. We hope this information is helpful to you, and wish you a speedy recovery!In addition, during the treatment of male reproductive health conditions, in addition to receiving immediate treatment, the patient's dietary habits and mental state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the recovery of the condition.
