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 get pregnant. After checking at the hospital, we found out. How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele rarely recurs before puberty in males, but after puberty, the incidence gradually increases with age. Since varicocele can affect male fertility, its prevention is particularly important. How can varicocele be prevented? Pay attention to the following points:1. Maintain a regular lifestyle for men, always keep a calm mood, ensure adequate rest, and avoid excessive fatigue.
2. Men should abstain from alcohol and avoid spicy, irritating foods.
3. If suffering from urogenital infections such as prostatitis or urethritis, seek timely treatment.
4. Wear pouch underwear that can prevent a heavy scrotum and promote ventilation and heat dissipation, as this is an important consideration for stabilizing the external environment of varicocele.
