Patient's question:
I just had varicocele surgery last month, and my wife and I have always wanted a second child, so we've recently started trying to conceive. However, I'm not sure if I can have normal sexual activity in my current condition, or if it might affect future generations. What precautions should I take?Doctor's answer:
You have varicocele, and you have just undergone varicocelectomy. As long as the surgical incision heals well and there are no abnormal discomforts in the testicles, epididymis, scrotum, etc., you can engage in normal sexual activity. Generally, after this surgery, the stability of sperm viability can be improved, and the chances of conception can be enhanced. There is no impact on offspring because the genetic material in your sperm has not undergone any further changes. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
