Patient's question:
I have had varicocele for many years. Actually, it hasn't caused much discomfort, and since I already have children, I haven't paid much attention to it. However, recently the pain has been getting worse, sometimes even keeping me awake at night. It has seriously affected my normal life and work, and I am very troubled.Please ask: Which tests are recommended for varicocele?
Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is the congestion 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 vein valves, making it easy for varicocele to recur.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.
The causes of varicocele vary depending on individual conditions.
