Patient's question:
After meeting my girlfriend, we had sexual relations and always used contraception. However, after getting married for 2 years, we still haven't been able to conceive. Later, when we went to the hospital for a thorough examination, my wife was checked and found to have no major issues, but the doctor checked my semen and said its quality was poor. An ultrasound examination revealed varicocele. What should I do about varicocele as a man?Doctor's answer:
After resting in a supine position, symptoms may be reduced or disappear. However, sometimes it can lead to poor semen quality. In this case, it is recommended to come to the clinic for treatment. You can also visit a specialized website for infertility to gain a detailed understanding. But for poor semen quality caused by varicocele, medication is almost ineffective. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence. Long-term medication maintenance is necessary, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
