Patient's question:
I'm really puzzled. A few weeks ago, I felt a lot of pain in my testicles, and after going 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 can varicocele be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Weak vein walls, venous valve defects, and decreased pressure in superficial veins are the main causes of great saphenous vein varicose veins. Weak vein walls, venous valve defects, and heredity are related. Prolonged standing, heavy physical labor, early pregnancy, chronic cough, and constipation can all lead to decreased superficial vein pressure. When the great saphenous vein valves at the saphenofemoral junction are damaged and incompetent, blood flows backward, causing varicose veins! Surgery is the best method for treating great saphenous vein varicose veins. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, patients must actively cooperate with their doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
