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, we found out that there is varicocele. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common swelling in the scrotum. This condition can affect male sexual function and sperm quality. It is generally related to factors such as frequent exposure to high temperatures at work and infections. Treatment methods include medication and surgery. If the degree of varicocele does not affect sperm quality, conservative treatment can be performed. However, if sperm quality is already impacted, early treatment is necessary. In daily life, it is important to rest, avoid high-temperature work conditions, and not smoke or drink beer. Additionally, avoid wearing tight clothing.During the treatment of male reproductive diseases, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary habits and mental state are also crucial. It is essential for patients to maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the recovery of male reproductive diseases.
