Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask what symptoms indicate varicose veins. Recently, I've been feeling tightness and tension in the inner thigh muscle on my right leg. Some people say it's like the symptoms of varicose veins, but I don't know the cause. Could you please tell me what the symptoms and treatments for varicose veins are, as well as why people get varicose veins?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is a condition where the spermatic vein experiences obstruction or valve failure, leading to blood stasis and the expansion and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus. It is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The incidence of varicocele is higher on the left side. Individuals with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can wear elastic stockings or use a scrotal support band. Men with severe symptoms and infertility due to varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm should undergo surgical treatment. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the spermatic vein. It is recommended to identify the underlying cause and provide targeted treatment!
