Patient's question:
I am 20 years old and have just returned from the military. It's possible that I developed varicocele from standing guard during my service. My family has introduced me to a partner and I want to get married and have children as soon as possible. However, my condition hasn't been fully treated yet, and I'm feeling very distressed. Could you please tell me: What are the causes of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele refers to the obstruction of venous return in the spermatic cord or the dysfunction of venous valves, leading to blood reflux and stasis, causing the pampiniform plexus to dilate and tortuous. When men suffer from varicocele, approximately 50% to 80% of patients have abnormal semen analysis, mainly: 1. Reduced sperm count, even azoospermia 2. Increased sperm motility 3. Enhanced sperm abnormality, mainly head and midpiece abnormalities 4. Sperm morphology speculation: sperm head apoptosis is less than 15%. Wish you health. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in time, it will affect the physical condition. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wish you a speedy recovery.
