Patient's question:
Frequently, detailed examinations of sperm are conducted in the hospital, and the semen analysis results indicate a low sperm count and poor vitality. The subsequent color Doppler ultrasound results show bilateral varicocele. The bilateral spermatic cords can be thickened, with multiple spermatic cords appearing tortuous in shape. The maximum inner diameter in the left lateral decubitus position is 2.7mm, and the maximum diameter is 3.8mm. The maximum inner diameter in the inverted position on the right side is 3.0mm. This is not very severe. What is the best treatment option for the current condition? Will the sperm issue worsen after treatment? Is it easy to develop complications?Doctor's answer:
Not all patients with varicocele are infertile. Many patients with varicocele experience discomfort, primarily manifested as a feeling of scrotal testicles, dampness, coldness, pain, and discomfort in the scrotum. The discomfort often tends to the perineum, groin, and waist on the affected side. Radiation, fatigue, and after sexual activity, a few people may also experience neurosis, such as emotional instability, neurosis, dreams, lack of energy, and fatigue. If you have no symptoms or mild symptoms, you can only use the scrotum or wear skin pants underwear or directly use the scrotum and lift the pants. If the symptoms are significant and affect infertility, surgical treatment can be performed.
