Patient's question:
I got married to my wife, but we've never been able to have children. Recently, my wife and I went to the hospital for a check-up. It turns out that she's fine, but they said I have varicocele, which affects the quality of my sperm, making it difficult to conceive. I'm really frustrated. Could you please tell me: what are the common treatments for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is the accumulation of blood in the spermatic veins. Due to the inverted posture of the human body, the flow of spermatic vein is affected; the weakness of the vein wall and surrounding connective tissue, or incomplete development of the cremaster muscle; and the scarring or incompetence of the venous valves, making it easy to recur varicocele.1. Blood retention in the dilated veins leads to an increase in local temperature of the testes, affecting spermatogenesis.
2. Blood retention affects the blood circulation of the testes, resulting in a lack of necessary nutrients and oxygen supply, which impacts spermatogenesis.
What is the treatment for varicocele? For your health, if you suffer from this condition, please seek timely treatment from a formal and professional hospital.
