Patient's question:
What are the causes of varicocele? I consulted about the cause of varicocele, but I don't know what's going on. I want to get pregnant, but I have never been able to. We did a thorough check-up together a few days ago, and it was said that it was varicocele. What should I do? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease in 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 leading to poor blood flow. Mild varicocele can be treated with methods such as scrotal cold packs. Severe varicocele can be treated with minimally invasive high ligation of the spermatic vein. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at a regular and professional hospital. The condition of varicocele is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should seek medical attention at a professional and regular hospital immediately.
