Patient's question:
My boyfriend had a thorough examination last week and was diagnosed with varicocele. I want to know what causes this varicocele and what precautions should be taken in daily life. What treatment methods are most effective? What kind of medicine is good for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
In the past, due to the re-emphasis on the thickening and varicosity of the's blood vessels, venous ligation was commonly performed in the scrotum in earlier years. It has been proven that the recurrence rate was very high. Now, it is believed to be caused by venous column back pressure. According to this theory, venous ligation at the high position of the internal spermatic vein is currently used, which has achieved good results. Surgical treatment is not always necessary for this condition. For younger patients who are unmarried, using a scrotal support to lower the scrotum can alleviate symptoms. These patients often experience symptom relief after marriage. For more severe cases, venous ligation at the high position of the internal spermatic vein is effective.
