Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of pain in my testicles and went to the hospital for a check-up. It was diagnosed as varicocele. I didn't do anything wrong, so how did I get this condition? And it's said to affect fertility, but I'm not even married yet. What should I do? How should varicocele be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your description, varicocele is mainly caused by a large angle between the injection of the spermatic vein and the renal vein. This can lead to venous reflux obstruction and stasis within the spermatic vein during prolonged standing or walking, resulting in recurrent varicocele. Given that varicocele can lower the temperature in the scrotum and interfere with sperm maturation, it may cause infertility. Surgical treatment can be implemented, where the spermatic vein is ligated at a high position, which can provide complete relief. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
