Patient's question:
What should I do if I have mild varicocele? I want to consult about what to do when a man has mild varicocele. I don't know what it means, but my brother said it's absolutely impossible to get pregnant. Then they did some tests and said my brother has this condition. We don't understand what it means, so we want to ask what we should do. Can it be treated? Can he still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
For mild varicocele or varicocele accompanied by neuro, the methods of scrotal support and cold compress can be adopted. For patients with more severe symptoms, sperm count below 20 million, or testicular atrophy, surgical treatment is necessary. Due to individual differences and varying causes, it is recommended to seek treatment at a formal and professional infertility hospital for symptomatic treatment. The main focus should be on a targeted and thorough examination based on the individual's actual condition, followed by symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
