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 I have varicocele. Please advise on how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common swelling in the scrotum. This condition can affect male sexual function and sperm quality. It is generally associated with 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 has already been impacted, early treatment is necessary. In daily life, patients should rest, avoid high-temperature work conditions, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. Additionally, wearing tight clothing should be avoided.During the treatment of male urological conditions, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to prevent unnecessary impacts on the recovery of male urological conditions.
