Patient's question:
Can varicocele be cured? Can I avoid treatment? I want to have children, so I don't want to undergo treatment. But if I don't treat it, I'm worried I won't be able to get pregnant. I'm already at an advanced age, and my family elders are urging me. So, can I just try to get pregnant? Will it be cured? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is inferred that varicocele, if mild, does not interfere with fertility. If it is severe, surgery is recommended. In fact, recovery after surgery is quite fast, so there is no need to worry. It is advised to develop good living habits, pay attention to hygiene, and avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy or irritating foods. You can check your semen analysis to see if the sperm quality is normal. If everything is fine, you can proceed with normal pregnancy preparation. It is important to determine your ovulation period, especially having intercourse around the ovulation day, as this increases the chances of conception. Good luck with your pregnancy. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms during treatment.
