Patient's question:
I am 50 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling discomfort in my lumbar and sacral region. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have varicocele. I want to know what disease causes varicocele.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your current condition, varicocele is generally more common due to abnormal valve function or congenital anatomical factors, and it is more prevalent on the left side. Given your current situation, it is recommended to have a color Doppler ultrasound examination of the varicocele at a professional urology department to make a clear diagnosis. Depending on the specific condition, treatment options such as medication or surgery can be selected.
