Patient's question:
Brother has been married for two years, but he hasn't had children yet. He is worried that there might be a physical problem, so he went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The result showed bilateral varicocele, which affects fertility. He is very nervous but doesn't know how to treat it. What should he do about bilateral varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Bilateral varicocele can lead to relatively high risks, mainly depending on the severity. If it is mild, the severity of varicocele is not significant, primarily causing swelling and discomfort in the perineal area with a sense of heaviness. If the varicocele is more severe, it can affect blood flow and alter the motility of sperm, reducing sperm vitality and impacting fertility. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can help reduce the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
