Patient's question:
Does varicocele affect pregnancy? There's a lump in the testicle. At first, I didn't pay attention, thinking it might have been something I touched. Later, I got married, but I've never been able to get pregnant. Then I searched online and found out that this lump in the testicle might be varicocele. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I had this condition. I still can't believe it, I'm so healthy! I had another check-up and still wondered if varicocele affects pregnancy. I want to ask what I should do. Will this affect pregnancy? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the main treatment method is the high ligation of varicocele through minimally invasive surgery. The condition of varicocele tends to recur. Long-term medication is required, and treatment should be considered based on careful examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Also, be mindful of sexual activity. Maintain a positive mood. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Eat more light and foods, and pay attention to your diet.
