Patient's question:
I am 21 years old this year. I had varicocele a while ago, and I took medication to treat it, but it has appeared again recently. Please ask: What causes varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the obstruction of venous return in the spermatic cord, failure of valves, and blood reflux leading to blood stasis, which causes the pampiniform plexus to expand, elongate, and bend. Most people believe that varicocele can affect sperm and semen quality, causing infertility. After surgical treatment, some individuals can regain their fertility.After varicocele treatment, it is important to follow a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and preferably avoid seafood. Intense exercise should also be avoided. If abnormal bleeding or severe pain occurs, it is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for reexamination and never attempt self-treatment.
