Varicocele—
varicocele
means
there is a varicose vein in the scrotum. Since the
scrotum helps keep the testes cool for sperm, a
varicocele can raise the temperature of the scrotum and
therefore harm sperm. Varicoceles can both reduce sperm
count, and can negatively affect the quality of sperm.
If a varicocele is severe, the patient may need
surgery. Acupuncture and herbal treatment after such a
surgery will help speed the healing process and ensure a
quicker return to healthy sperm production. TCM can
treat the root issue of a blood stagnation that leads to
a mild varicocele.
