Patient's question:
I have mild varicocele. Will sexual activity interfere with varicocele, or will it worsen it? Because I need to join the military, but my girlfriend suggests having sex. Will this interfere?Doctor's answer:
Generally, there is no need to worry too much. Mild varicocele usually does not interfere, but severe varicocele may lead to reduced sperm quality. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence rate. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods and maintaining a regular routine.
