Patient's question:
What are the causes of varicocele? How is varicocele caused? The testicles feel uncomfortable, but sexual life is normal, and I haven't had children yet. Then, after a thorough examination, it was found that I have varicocele. I want to know if this is interfering with getting pregnant? How should it be treated? What are the reasons?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a vascular mass in the scrotum formed by the expansion and elongation of the pampiniform plexus of veins, most commonly occurring on the left side. It is the most common disease among young and middle-aged men and a significant cause of male infertility. In patients with varicocele, testicular temperature decreases, which interferes with the normal development and maturation of sperm, disrupting conception. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet are recommended during the treatment period.
