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 found out that I have mild varicocele. What kind of medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele obstructs venous return, causes valve failure, and leads to blood reflux, resulting in blood stasis. This can cause the pampiniform plexus to expand, elongate, and kink. It may interfere with sperm production and semen quality, leading to infertility. Those without obvious symptoms can be treated conservatively by paying attention to a balance between rest and activity, avoiding strenuous exercise, and promptly treating urogenital infections; commonly used microcirculation-stabilizing medications can be taken. For those with obvious symptoms, surgical relief is necessary for varicocele. In addition to symptomatic treatment for andrological diseases, patients also need to 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 diagnosis to achieve good treatment outcomes.
