Patient's question:
Varicocele, underwent ultrasound, everything with the testicles is normal, the diameter of the left vein is 2.4mm, will do a semen test in a few days, asking the doctor if it's serious?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele generally occurs first on the left side and is related to the transverse flow of the left spermatic vein into the renal vein. There is no effective medication for varicocele. If left untreated, it can lead to bilateral varicocele. This can cause a decrease in scrotal temperature, poor sperm quality, and ultimately infertility. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
