Patient's question:
Doctor, I previously had surgery for left varicocele, and later developed epididymitis. The doctors had been prescribing medication for me, but after a thorough examination of my sperm, they said it was normal and that I could have children. However, my epididymitis has not fully healed, and I really want to have a child. I am very worried. Will it affect the child if I do?Doctor's answer:
After active treatment for epididymitis, if a semen analysis shows normal sperm count and motility, pregnancy is possible. Your condition is not serious, so there is no need to worry. You should actively treat the epididymitis and undergo a semen analysis. If the results are normal, it will not interfere with conception. The condition of epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
