Patient's question:
I think I might have varicocele. I feel that one of my testicles is higher than the other, and it hurts a lot. I can feel the pain even when I walk. Because of work, I have to walk a lot every day, which really brings me a lot of pain. Please ask: What is the best treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by venous blood stasis in the spermatic vein, leading to venous reflux obstruction, or it can be triggered by renal tumors or other retroperitoneal tumors. Varicocele can affect sperm production and semen quality because of venous expansion and congestion, resulting in a decrease in local temperature, accumulation of carbon dioxide in testicular tissue, and increased concentrations of catecholamines, cortisol, and prostaglandins in the blood, all of which impair testicular spermatogenesis.How is varicocele best treated? Infertile patients with varicocele who wish to conceive must undergo treatment as early as possible. Only by identifying the underlying cause and treating it accordingly can recovery be achieved. During treatment, it is essential to strictly follow medical advice to ensure better therapeutic outcomes.
