I am unsure which prescription is better. Could you please provide advice and clarification?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, theoretically, may have the potential to increase sperm vitality, but it does not necessarily recur in clinical diagnosis. Therefore, it is recommended that you maintain good lifestyle habits, engage in regular physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness, avoid smoking and drinking beer, and do not take hot baths frequently. Regular follow-up tests are also necessary.In addition, for patients with urological conditions during treatment, their dietary status and care are also very important. Patients must pay attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
