Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of different heights. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: How is varicocele diagnosed, and what tests are needed?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is the congestion of spermatic vein blood flow. Due to the inverted posture of the human body, it interferes with the flow of spermatic veins; weakness of the vein wall and surrounding connective tissue, or incomplete development of the cremaster muscle; and scarring or incompetence of the vein valves, making it prone to recurrence of varicocele.1. Blood retention in dilated veins leads to an increase in local temperature of the testes, disrupting spermatogenesis.
2. Blood retention interferes with the blood circulation of the testes, depriving them of necessary nutrients and oxygen, thereby affecting spermatogenesis.
What to check for varicocele Due to individual differences and varying causes, it is recommended that you seek treatment at a designated hospital for quick conception for symptomatic treatment.
