Patient's question:
I have plans to have children, but I suffer from varicocele, and it's quite severe. Does it have an impact? What methods are used to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for varicocele, mild cases can be managed conservatively, which involves rest, wearing tight undergarments, increasing physical activity, and appropriately using blood-activating medications. Moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, require surgical treatment. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
