Patient's question:
Long-term infertility with wife after marriage, after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that there was varicocele on the left side of the spermatic cord. After taking medicine for a period of time, it didn't work, and preparations were being made to undergo surgical treatment at the hospital. What should a man do if he has varicocele on the left side?Doctor's answer:
1. Varicocele refers to a disease where the veins in the spermatic cord repeatedly become dilated, extended, and tortuous, leading to slow blood flow and congestion, which in turn causes a series of clinical symptoms. Varicocele can impair testicular function and affect male fertility. Medications are not very effective in controlling or preventing it, so blind medication should be avoided.2. It is recommended to check at a local Grade III-A hospital. Avoid sexual activity until the condition is cured. A scrotal support belt can be used to elevate the scrotum, helping venous return, which may serve some health and preventive functions during the remission period. However, it cannot cure varicocele, so surgical treatment is generally more effective.
