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. But 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 feel very troubled. Please ask: How can varicocele be diagnosed?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, twisted together, and cause neuralgia and pain. Prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are also contributing factors. Posterior abdominal tumors, renal tumors, hydronephrosis, and other conditions that control the internal spermatic veins can lead to symptomatic or secondary varicocele. Varicocele can also be caused by renal tumors or other posterior abdominal tumors. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
