Patient's question:
The causes of varicocele, please consult what causes varicocele, why does this disease occur, my husband doesn't feel uncomfortable, the semen is normal, but we will never get pregnant, then an ultrasound examination was performed and it was said to be varicocele, what should I do, can it be cured?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. Mild varicocele can be treated with methods such as scrotal support and cold compresses. Severe varicocele may require minimally invasive high ligation of the spermatic vein. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at a formal and professional hospital. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during the treatment.
