Patient's question:
What causes male varicocele, and what factors can lead to varicocele in men? How is it treated now, and how 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 blood flow. For mild varicocele, measures such as reporting to the doctor and applying cold compresses may be recommended. It is advised to seek a formal hospital for a detailed examination and symptomatic treatment. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
