Patient's question:
Can varicocele on the left side be treated? My wife has been absolutely unable to get pregnant. A few days ago, we went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed varicocele on the left side. The doctor prescribed some medication, but I still feel uneasy. I also really want to have children, so I want to know how this condition is caused, whether it can be treated, and if there are any effective methods.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, which can be accompanied by testicular atrophy and impaired sperm development, may lead to male infertility. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
