Can you have children after bilateral varicocelectomy?

Patient's question:

On June 14th, I had bilateral varicocele surgery. I want to have intercourse with my wife during her ovulation period next month. Can sperm return to high quality within a month? The hospital prescribed many traditional Chinese medicines for postoperative recovery. Will this affect it? I am trying to get pregnant. Is it possible?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, in this situation, it is not advisable to have children for now. Relieve your mind and maintain a calm attitude, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. In this case, it takes at least 3 months for sperm quality to improve, and it is best to wait a year before having children. Follow medical advice for medication. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
