Patient's question:
Weak sperm and sperm liquefaction disorder caused by varicoceleDoctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele can directly affect the quality of your sperm. The dilatation and tortuosity of the spermatic veins in the scrotum are referred to as varicocele. The cause is due to the long course of the spermatic veins, which are subjected to the greatest pressure, as well as defects or incompetence of the venous valves, leading to impaired blood circulation in the testes and epididymis, elevated local temperature, and accumulation of toxic substances, all of which result in reduced sperm motility. Clinical symptoms include a sense of swelling or heaviness in the affected scrotal area, which worsens after exertion or prolonged standing and improves with rest. It can cause testicular atrophy, affect normal sperm growth, and impact fertility. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek surgical treatment for varicocele as early as possible. Microscopic varicocelectomy is the most common and effective treatment for primary varicocele, and the earlier the surgery is performed, the better the outcome. Therefore, it is advised that you undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible and pay attention to protecting your sperm production function. Additionally, in daily life, proper care should be taken, such as: 1. Maintaining a calm mood, avoiding sudden anger that harms the liver, and adjusting your diet by avoiding spicy foods. 2. Balancing rest and activity, avoiding strenuous exercise, heavy physical labor, and prolonged standing. 3. Moderating sexual activity, wearing tight underwear or using a scrotal support to prevent scrotal drooping, etc. Wishing you good health!
