Patient's question:
I previously suffered from varicocele and underwent varicocele surgery. However, after the surgery, when I had intimate relations with my wife, I noticed that my sperm quality was poor because my wife had not shown any signs of pregnancy. What should I do about the poor sperm quality after varicocele surgery?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele may actually improve sperm quality, potentially leading to recurrent cases of asthenozoospermia (low sperm count), oligozoospermia (low sperm count), or azoospermia (no sperm). This is not caused by the surgery. After the surgery, you need to use some supplements together and pay attention to the intake of trace elements and vitamins to stabilize sperm vitality. It takes about three months for sperm to evolve from immature to fully mature. Therefore, after the surgery, you need to adjust the sperm with medication for three months to ensure complete and smooth metabolism. At that time, you can re-examine the sperm.
