Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, I learned about it. How can varicocele be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For this condition, surgical treatment is not always used, after all, the recurrence rate of surgery is relatively high. After the internal spermatic vein is ligated, the venous blood flowing from the testis, epididymis, etc., can return to the inferior vena cava along the external spermatic vein. Or, it can return to the femoral vein through subcutaneous veins below the external ring. It is recommended to ligate the internal spermatic vein above the internal ring on the posterior abdominal wall. For severe varicocele, patients with sperm count consistently below 20 million for three consecutive times, or with testicular atrophy, and for those whose varicose veins disappear when lying down, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed. In addition, during the treatment of male diseases, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary impacts on the recovery of male diseases.
