Patient's question:
Varicocele can cause erection?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is caused by the expansion of the spermatic veins and pampiniform plexus, leading to impaired blood circulation. This can result in a sensation of heaviness and swelling in the scrotum, and may affect sperm quality. If the symptoms are mild and sperm quality is unaffected, conservative treatment can be temporarily adopted. Otherwise, procedures such as high ligation of the spermatic vein or laparoscopic varicocelectomy may be performed. It generally does not affect erectile function. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually 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. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
