Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing discomfort at the urethral opening when urinating. During cold weather, my urination frequency increases, and I feel weak urine flow. I'm very scared, fearing a serious illness. Please advise on how to treat varicocele effectively.Doctor's answer:
The main cause of varicocele is the accumulation of blood in the spermatic veins. Due to the inverted posture of the human body, it affects the flow of spermatic veins; weak vein walls and surrounding connective tissues, or underdeveloped cremaster muscles; and scarred or incompetent venous valves, making it easier for varicocele to recur.1. Blood retention in dilated veins leads to elevated local temperature in the testes, which affects spermatogenesis.
2. Blood retention impairs the blood circulation of the testes, depriving them of essential nutrients and oxygen, thereby affecting spermatogenesis.
How should varicocele be treated? Due to individual differences and varying causes, it is recommended that you seek treatment at a designated hospital for symptomatic treatment. The primary approach should involve a targeted examination based on your specific condition, followed by treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
