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 making it hard for me to sleep at night. It has seriously affected my normal life and work, and I feel very troubled.Could you please tell me what causes varicocele?
Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is the accumulation 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 venous valves, making it easy to recur varicocele.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 cause of varicocele is related to your health.
