Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some pain in the groin area or lower back. The symptoms worsen after exertion, prolonged standing, or walking. Can varicocele be completely cured?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 in the spermatic vein during prolonged standing or walking, causing blood to accumulate in the veins and resulting in varicocele. Given that varicocele lowers the temperature in the scrotum and affects sperm maturation, it can lead to infertility. Surgical treatment can be performed, where the spermatic vein is ligated at a high position, which can completely cure the condition. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health.
