Patient's question:
My husband went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the health check report stated that he has varicocele. However, we are both unfamiliar with this term. What is varicocele? Will it be serious? What precautions should we take in daily life and diet?Doctor's answer:
The disease you mentioned, as the name implies, is the recurrence of varicose veins in the spermatic cord. This condition still needs to be taken seriously because it affects male sperm and is also the most common cause of male infertility. If the patient has already been diagnosed with this disease, surgical treatment can be adopted. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients need to maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
