Patient's question:
Left varicocele, this condition has been troubling me for a long time. I'm worried about leaving any aftereffects, but is there a good treatment method?Doctor's answer:
When varicocele occurs, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, it can lead to an increase in scrotal temperature, causing the testicular temperature to drop by 1℃ to 2℃. If the temperature remains elevated for a long period, it can affect the testis's ability to produce sperm, resulting in azoospermia and oligospermia. The epididymis also contributes to the maturation of sperm. Testicular varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to the specific symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
