Patient's question:
In the past year, I've been experiencing lower back pain, discomfort, frequent urination, and urgency. At night, I have deep sleep with many dreams and wake up easily. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and had X-rays taken. The doctor said I have a varicocele, normal ureters, no abnormalities in the bladder, and a normal prostate. Seeing these results, I was very surprised. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal malformation may affect fertility, but it is not absolute. You need to have your sperm quality checked and make a diagnosis based on the results. If a thorough examination of sperm quality reveals oligospermia and asthenozoospermia, further consideration should be given to surgical correction. If the sperm quality test results are normal, no treatment is necessary. The epididymis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication during treatment is essential.
