Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have never used any form of contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, we found out about varicocele. How should it 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 urinary and reproductive system infections such as prostatitis or urethritis, seek timely treatment.
4. Wear pouch underwear that can prevent lower scrotal drooping and promote ventilation and heat dissipation, as this is an important consideration for stabilizing the external environment of varicocele.
