Patient's question:
What should I do if I have bilateral varicocele? What causes it? I've been married for a year, and most of the time I haven't been using contraception, but I haven't gotten pregnant either. I thought I should get a thorough check-up to see if there's any problem so I can get treatment early. However, the ultrasound check-up said I have bilateral varicocele. Now that I know the problem, I don't know what to do. Can it be treated? Are there any methods to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from bilateral varicocele, as the varicocele changes the temperature of the scrotum, it affects the viability of sperm. Your semen analysis revealed a low sperm count and poor motility, which is likely caused by varicocele. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
