Patient's question:
Married to my wife for 7 years, we've never had children. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that I have varicocele. Can I still do petri dish fertilization?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can be treated with IVF. For men with varicocele, as long as the sperm quality is good, they can completely decide to undergo IVF. Although men with varicocele may experience discomfort during sexual activity, this does not interfere with sperm retrieval. As long as sperm is collected, it can be used for culture dishes. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking.
