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, I learned about it. How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is generally caused by the tortuous expansion of a plexus of dilated veins due to impaired blood of the spermatic vein, which can easily lead to testicular heaviness and swelling, or even hinder sperm development. It is recommended to avoid prolonged standing, excessive walking, ensure sufficient rest and deep sleep, prevent overtime work and overexertion, and avoid drinking beer and smoking. If the varicocele is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention at a formal hospital for follow-up treatment. Based on the specific condition, surgical treatment may be the best option. In addition to symptomatic treatment for male reproductive health issues, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
