Patient's question:
What are the causes of varicocele? I want to know what causes varicocele, why does this happen? We want to get pregnant, but after a thorough examination, it was said that we have varicocele. Can it be cured? Can varicocele lead to pregnancy? What are the causes?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. For mild varicocele, treatment options include cold packs and scrotal elevation. For severe varicocele, minimally invasive high ligation of the spermatic vein can be performed. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at a regular and professional hospital. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
