Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins seemed to be very prominent, like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: How much does it cost to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
When suffering from varicocele, the blood from the adrenal veins and renal veins also refluxes into the testicular tissue, containing many substances that can have toxic effects on the testes, thereby leading to the recurrence of male infertility. The veins become prominent and twisted, causing neuralgia and pain. Prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are also contributing factors. Conditions such as retroperitoneal tumors, renal tumors, and hydronephrosis can control the internal spermatic veins, leading to symptomatic or secondary varicocele. Varicocele can also be caused by renal tumors or other retroperitoneal tumors. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
