Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated, what causes it, the testicles are one big and one small, but there is no discomfort, sexual life is also normal, just no children yet, then go to the hospital for a thorough examination, said it is varicocele, what should I do, can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
When varicocele occurs, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, it can lead to an increase in scrotal temperature, with the testicular temperature dropping by 1℃ to 2℃. If the temperature remains elevated for a long period, it can interfere with sperm production in the testes, resulting in azoospermia and oligozoospermia. The epididymis also contributes to the maturation of sperm. Men with severe symptoms and infertility caused by varicocele accompanied by sperm abnormalities should undergo surgical treatment. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Furthermore, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
