Patient's question:
What should I do if I have varicocele? Hello doctor, I think I currently have varicocele because I feel a strong sense of heaviness in my testicles when walking. What should I do if I have varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is due to the defect or incompetence of the pampiniform plexus valves, leading to blood stasis in the spermatic veins. Individuals with a history of masturbation are more prone to developing varicocele. Since varicocele can easily affect sperm vitality and lead to male infertility, surgical intervention is not always necessary. Depending on the patient's condition, if there is still a desire for fertility and symptoms such as oligospermia, asthenospermia, necrospermia, azoospermia, or teratospermia are present, surgery becomes essential. Therefore, it is important to undergo timely examination to clarify the condition and then receive targeted and effective treatment.
