Patient's question:
Hello, I have been feeling unwell recently and would like to consult about this disease. What are the causes of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is due to the scarring or incompetence of the pampiniform plexus valves, leading to blood stasis in the spermatic veins. Individuals with sexual activity habits are more prone to developing varicocele. Since varicocele can easily interfere with sperm vitality, it is a secondary cause of male infertility. Varicocele does not necessarily require surgery, depending on the patient's condition. If, in addition to fertility advice, the following conditions such as oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, necrospermia, azoospermia, or teratospermia occur, surgery may be necessary. Therefore, you should promptly undergo examination to confirm the condition and then receive targeted and effective treatment.
