Patient's question:
I have been married for 4 years and have been infertile. My wife and I have never had children, and the family is very anxious, urging us to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Upon examination at the hospital, it was found to be left varicocele, which also causes easy premature ejaculation and low libido. After more than a year of treatment with Chinese and Western medicine, the effect is not good. How should this condition be treated, and what should I eat daily? What should I eat for mild varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele generally does not require medication. If it is relatively severe, surgery is recommended to resolve varicocele. Varicocele with no obvious symptoms and in those who are trying to conceive generally does not require surgical treatment. Non-surgical methods include wearing tight-fitting underwear and carefully observing. If the varicocele is of degree two or higher, early surgical treatment is necessary. During varicocele, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, the temperature in the scrotum can increase, and the testicular temperature can drop by 1℃ to 2℃. If the temperature remains elevated for a long period, it can interfere with sperm production in the testes, leading to azoospermia and oligospermia.
