What causes varicocele?

Patient's question:

For some time now, there has been localized swelling and pain in the scrotum. After searching online for information, it was said that it could be varicocele. What are the reasons that can lead to this condition?

Doctor's answer:

The main cause of varicocele is the congestion of blood in the spermatic veins. Due to the inverted posture of the human body, it interferes with the flow of spermatic veins; the weakness of the venous wall and surrounding connective tissue, or incomplete development of the cremaster muscle; and the scarring or incompetence of venous valves, making it easy to recur varicocele.
What to check for varicocele Since individual conditions and causes vary, it is recommended that you go to a designated hospital for symptomatic treatment. The main focus should be on a targeted examination based on your actual condition, followed by symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
