Patient's question:
I have had varicocele for many years. Actually, it hasn't caused much discomfort, and since I already have children, I haven't paid much attention to it. However, recently the pain has been getting worse, sometimes even keeping me awake at night. It has seriously affected my normal life and work, and I am very troubled. Please ask: How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, can lead to an increase in scrotal temperature, causing the testicular temperature to drop by 1°C to 2°C. Prolonged high temperatures can affect sperm production in the testes, resulting in azoospermia and oligozoospermia. The epididymis also plays a role in promoting sperm maturation. It is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The incidence of left varicocele is higher.What to carefully examine in varicocele
Due to individual differences and varying causes, it is recommended to seek medical treatment at a hospital for symptomatic treatment. The main approach should be a targeted and thorough examination based on your specific condition, followed by treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
