Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated, what causes it, and why does it happen like this? There's no discomfort at all, but after a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as varicocele. The doctor recommended treatment, so I underwent it and returned home. However, I still feel a bit uneasy. I'd like to ask how varicocele is treated, can it be cured, and can I still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The pampiniform plexus of the spermatic vein extends, bends, and shortens, which is called varicocele, one of the common diseases in men. The treatment methods are as follows: For those without symptoms or with mild symptoms, elastic pants or scrotal supports can be worn; for men with severe symptoms and varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm, surgical treatment should be performed. The surgical procedure involves high ligation of the spermatic vein. Based on your description, it is recommended that you consider your own condition and, if necessary, actively follow up for early symptomatic treatment as advised by the doctor.
