Doctor's answer:

According to the patient's description, the surgery only ligated the varicose spermatic veins. It will never interfere with testicular function. It is recommended to re-examine the testicular MRI. If there is orchitis, testicular torsion should also be ruled out. Regular re-examination of semen routine is required. In addition to treating male diseases, it is recommended that patients pay attention to diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
