Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is much larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: How is varicocele caused?Doctor's answer:
How is varicocele caused? Varicocele is a common disease in young and middle-aged men. Generally, about 10% of young men experience varicocele, and more than 90% are located on the left side. Varicocele is a pathological phenomenon where the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord, due to various reasons, causes poor blood flow, leading to local venous expansion, congestion, and elongation. Regardless of treating any disease, it is necessary to first identify its causative factors and implement targeted treatment. It is recommended to receive symptomatic treatment and not miss the best time for treatment. Additionally, maintain a positive mindset and avoid excessive tension. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
