Patient's question:
I just had bilateral varicocele surgery yesterday. Can I have sex and get pregnant next month?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele surgery involves the high ligation of dilated spermatic veins and the re-establishment of collateral circulation. If sexual activity is engaged in too early, it may lead to complications and potentially shorten the time required for complete recovery. Since online Q&A cannot fully understand the condition, it is best to consult the attending physician after surgery and resume sexual activity based on the recovery progress. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
