Can I have children after bilateral varicocele surgery?

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 fully recover to high quality within a month? The hospital prescribed many Chinese herbal medicines for post-operative recovery. Will this affect my ability to conceive a child? 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 first. Relieve stress and maintain a calm mindset, avoid 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. 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.
