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, causing blood to pool, leading to the expansion and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins. It is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The incidence of varicocele is higher on the left side. Those with mild or no symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band. Men with more severe symptoms and those with varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm, who are infertile, 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!
