Patient's question:
What are the causes of varicocele? I want to know what the causes of varicocele are. What should I do? Why does this condition occur? When I was in school, I had the habit of sexual intercourse, but now I don't. After getting married, I haven't had sexual intercourse, but my wife still won't get pregnant. A few days ago, I had a thorough examination and was told that I have varicocele. I want to ask what the causes are and what I should do?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the obstruction of venous return in the spermatic cord, leading to the re-emergence of dilated and tortuous veins. Severe cases can cause testicular atrophy and impaired sperm development, resulting in male infertility. There are several factors contributing to the onset of this disease, including anatomical factors of the spermatic vein, high sexual activity, abundant blood supply in the scrotum, prolonged standing, and chronic reduced abdominal pressure. It is important to actively treat this condition.
