Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with varicocele. I would like to consult about this condition. How is varicocele best treated?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 and venous valve defects are related to heredity. Long-term standing work, 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 femoral-saphenous junction are damaged and incompetent, blood flows backward, causing varicose veins! Surgery is the best method for treating great saphenous vein varicose veins.
