Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable at the urethral opening when urinating lately. When it's cold, there's an increase in urination frequency, and the urine lacks strength. I'm very scared, fearing a serious illness. Please advise on how to treat varicocele effectively.Doctor's answer:
The primary cause of varicocele is the congestion of spermatic vein blood flow. Due to the inverted posture of the human body affecting the inflow of the spermatic vein; weakness of the venous wall and surrounding connective tissue, or incomplete development of the cremaster muscle; and scarred or incompetent venous valves, varicocele is prone to recur.1. Blood retention in dilated veins leads to elevated local temperature in the testes, impairing spermatogenesis.
2. Blood retention affects the blood circulation of the testes, depriving them of necessary nutrients and oxygen, thereby impacting spermatogenesis.
How should varicocele be treated? Due to individual differences and varying causes, it is recommended to seek treatment at designated hospitals for symptomatic management. The primary approach involves a targeted examination based on personal circumstances, followed by treatment under medical guidance.
