Patient's question:
What are the causes of varicocele? I want to ask what the causes of varicocele are, why this condition occurs. We want to get pregnant, but we haven't been using contraception, yet we still haven't become pregnant. Then, after a thorough examination, it was said that my husband has varicocele. What should we do? Can it be treated?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. Patients with varicocele experience a decrease in testicular temperature, which interferes with the normal development and maturation of sperm, thereby affecting fertility. Generally, fertility can be restored after surgical treatment. It is recommended to seek diagnosis at a regular and professional hospital. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Pay close attention to personal hygiene.
