What is the relationship between varicocele and infertility?

Patient's question:

What are the causes of varicocele, and how did I get this condition? I pay close attention to sexual life, taking baths before and after intercourse, and also exercise regularly. Yet, I haven't been able to conceive. What is the relationship between varicocele and infertility?

Doctor's answer:

1. Most patients are told by the doctor when to follow up upon discharge. Generally, it is recommended to visit the hospital for a check-up after 1-2 weeks.
2. It is advised to seek treatment at a local hospital with a Grade III-A or higher rating for a thorough examination. Mild varicocele without symptoms usually does not require treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, methods such as reporting scrotal symptoms, cold compresses, and other adjustments can be used. Pay attention to maintaining good lifestyle habits, avoid frequent sexual activity, ensure adequate rest, do not overwork or drink alcohol excessively, and avoid prolonged sitting. Drink more water.
