Patient's question:
I had varicocele surgery last month. After the surgery, the doctor prescribed medication. Could you tell me what the effects of these two medications are? Today, I went for a follow-up examination, and the doctor performed a simple physical check-up, saying that it will take time for the thick blood vessels inside to fully recover. He prescribed another month's worth of medication and said to come back next month for a semen analysis and color Doppler ultrasound. Could you tell me if these two medications need to be taken long-term? I'm quite puzzled.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele often has sequelae, such as testicular atrophy and other symptoms. Oral medication is mainly used to prevent conditions like asthenozoospermia and sexual dysfunction. After taking it for another month, re-examination should be conducted to decide whether to continue taking the medication. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in a timely manner, it can affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
