Patient's question:
My husband has bilateral varicocele. We had sex before my last period on April 10th, which was on May 5th. Will this affect pregnancy? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged men. It is a pathological phenomenon where the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord becomes dilated, tortuous, and elongated due to various reasons causing poor blood flow. Severe varicocele may require surgical treatment. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at a regular and professional hospital. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek diagnosis at professional and regular hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be noted.
