Patient's question:
These past few days, I've had mild pain in my left testicle. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was found that I have varicocele and microcalcifications in both testicles. The doctor prescribed medication. How the doctor treats it, I haven't been divorced yet, will it interfere with fertility and sexual function?Doctor's answer:
The described condition may be varicocele, with recurrent local pain and discomfort. Varicocele does not necessarily interfere with sperm quality to cause infertility. A routine semen analysis can be conducted, oral medications can be taken, and tight-fitting underwear can be worn to support the scrotum. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
