Patient's question:
I am married, don't have a girlfriend, and have varicocele. Can I get my sperm quality checked without any sexual activity? Can it determine the quality of my sperm?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is possible. You may have discomfort symptoms such as a heavy or full feeling during the day, and varicocele is related to standing up frequently. My suggestion is to recommend that you have a doctor examine your semen quality while also undergoing a color Doppler ultrasound. If you have discomfort symptoms, regardless of whether your semen quality is the best, surgery should be considered for treatment. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet.
