What are the causes of varicocele?

Patient's question:

When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles was much larger than the other, and it seemed to be lower on one side. When I touched it, the veins appeared to be very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. I would like to ask: What are the causes of varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is primarily caused by congenital venous functional abnormalities. It can also be due to intra-abdominal inflammation that obstructs the flow of spermatic veins. Generally, surgical treatment is sufficient. It is recommended that you seek a thorough examination and treatment at a reputable specialized hospital, achieving early detection and early treatment. Do not miss the opportunity for good treatment time. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
