Patient's question:
After I got married, my wife has never been pregnant. At first, I thought it was her problem, but after a thorough check-up at the hospital, everything was normal for her. Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have varicocele, which causes male infertility. What medicine should I take for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of varicocele, using medication, is not very effective. Mild cases can be treated conservatively, which involves resting, wearing tight underpants, increasing physical activity, and appropriately using blood-activating drugs. However, moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, must undergo surgery. This is because varicocele obstructs blood, leading to circulatory disorders in the testicles, which prevents normal sperm production and excretion functions. Over time, it can cause the testicles to swell and lose all functionality.
