Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles was much larger than the other, and it seemed to be lower on one side. When I touched it, the veins appeared to be very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What is the best treatment for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by the congestion of spermatic vein blood flow leading to venous, or it can be induced by renal tumors or other retroperitoneal tumors. Varicocele can interfere with sperm production and semen quality because of vein expansion and congestion, local temperature drop, accumulation of carbon dioxide in testicular tissue, and increased concentrations of catecholamines, cortisol, and prostaglandins in the blood, all of which disrupt the testicular spermatogenic function.How is varicocele best treated? Infertile patients with varicocele who want to conceive must undergo treatment early. Only by identifying the cause and treating it accordingly can symptoms be alleviated. During treatment, it is essential to strictly follow medical advice to achieve better therapeutic effects.
