Patient's question:
21 years old, color Doppler ultrasound shows left-side inflammation: located at the head of the epididymis. Number: single, size: 0.3cm 0.3cm, shape: cystic. No echoes. Left varicocele. Reflux during Valsalva's maneuver. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the expansion and coiling of veins due to impaired blood, commonly occurring on the left side. It is a common disease among young and middle-aged males. If left untreated, it can lead to inflammation of other tissues and even cause male infertility. For recurrent varicocele symptoms that interfere with normal sexual life and daily activities, surgical treatment is recommended. The disease can be treated through high ligation of the internal spermatic vein, which has a low recurrence rate after surgery. Additionally, daily care is also important, such as avoiding prolonged sitting or controlling, and enhancing physical fitness through exercise.
