Patient's question:
How is varicocele acquired and how is it treatedDoctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is a condition where the return of spermatic veins is obstructed or the valves fail, causing blood to pool, leading to the expansion and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus. It is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The incidence of left varicocele is higher. Those with asymptomatic or mild symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band. Men with severe symptoms and infertility due to varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm should undergo surgical treatment. The surgical approach involves high ligation of the spermatic veins. It is recommended to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment! For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health.
