How is varicocele treatment generally effective?

Patient's question:

How is the best treatment effect for varicocele? It feels very uncomfortable in the private area, and that feeling can't be described. It affects work and life very much, it's very troublesome.

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, can lead to an increase in scrotal temperature, causing the testicular temperature to drop by 1℃ to 2℃. Prolonged high temperatures can interfere with sperm production in the testes, resulting in azoospermia and oligozoospermia. The epididymis also helps in the maturation of sperm. It is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The incidence of left varicocele is higher. Individuals with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band. For those with more severe symptoms and male infertility associated with varicocele and abnormal sperm, surgical intervention is recommended. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the spermatic vein. I am not sure about your specific condition, but I recommend you come to our Maternal and Child Plastic Surgery Department for a follow-up visit.
