Patient's question:
What is varicocele, what is the cause of male infertility, I've been divorced for two years and haven't been able to get pregnant, haven't had a thorough check-up with my wife, and then yesterday I had a check-up and said I had varicocele. What is the reason?Doctor's answer:
The causes of varicocele, young and middle-aged men have more vigorous physiological functions, leading to abundant blood supply in the scrotum, which contributes to the recurrence of this disease. Prolonged standing is also one of the causes. The left spermatic vein near the left renal vein lacks valves, making it easy for blood to flow backward. Additionally, the left spermatic vein is located behind the sigmoid colon, making it prone to compression by intestinal feces, which interferes with blood flow. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the disease is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment, and patients should also maintain a light diet.
