Patient's question:
The causes of varicocele, I want to know what causes varicocele in men, how did it happen like this, what is the reason behind it? There is no discomfort, and I am trying to conceive, it is absolutely impossible to get pregnant. A few days ago, my husband had a thorough examination and said it was varicocele, but what is the cause of it? What should we do? Can it be treated? Can we still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged men. It is a pathological phenomenon where the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord becomes dilated, tortuous, and elongated due to various reasons causing poor venous drainage. For mild varicocele, treatment may include wearing an elastic compression garment and applying cold packs. For more severe varicocele, minimally invasive high ligation of the varicocele can be performed. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at a regular and professional hospital. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health.
