Symptoms may worsen after physical activity or exertion but can be alleviated or relieved after rest or lying down.

After surgical treatment, fertility can be fully restored.Hello, the first step in treating infertility is to identify the underlying cause, followed by developing an appropriate screening plan. I recommend you visit a reputable specialized hospital for a thorough examination to determine the cause and receive treatment based on your condition.
