Patient's question:
Two years ago, I was hospitalized for varicocele and have now recovered. After getting married to my wife over a year ago, I didn't breastfeed, but we haven't had any children yet. I've heard that varicocele can cause male infertility, which makes me very concerned. Hello expert, is there a relationship between varicocele and infertility?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, if severe, can affect the quality of sperm, which may lead to infertility. However, since you were hospitalized for treatment two years ago and have since recovered, it is necessary to confirm whether the issue lies with the semen. It is recommended that you have a routine semen analysis performed at the hospital to assess the vitality and viability of the sperm. If there are any problems, a comprehensive and thorough examination should be conducted to identify the underlying cause and timely treatment should be initiated. For severe cases of male urological diseases, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
