Patient's question:
Bilateral testicles and epididymides are of normal size and shape, with uniform, no signs of inflammation. Is it normal for the left spermatic vein to be dilated and tortuous with a diameter of about 0.33?Doctor's answer:
Because of the dilatation and tortuosity of the left spermatic vein, it severely affects the normal blood circulation of the testis. This situation may reappear after a long period of time. Do not take it lightly, otherwise it may severely affect sexual function, and even lead to the inability of the testis to excrete semen and form normal sperm, resulting in infertility. For varicocele, surgical treatment must be performed as early as possible. If it is not particularly severe, Chinese medicine decoctions can be used for fumigation and washing to stabilize blood circulation. It is important to avoid sitting for long periods and to pay attention to preventing colds in the perineal area. Regular physical exercise should also be enhanced.
