Patient's question:
I have varicocele, it is said that this disease is harmful. What are the hazards of varicocele in men?Doctor's answer:
More common in clinical diagnosis is the left side, because the left spermatic vein drains into the left renal vein, which has a higher resistance, combined with the degeneration of venous valve function, leading to this condition. Varicocele can present with typical symptoms such as a heavy pain in the scrotum that worsens after exercise and disappears when lying down. It can generally be confirmed through palpation and color Doppler ultrasound. Varicocele can raise the temperature in the scrotum, thereby affecting sperm viability, and may even lead to testicular atrophy.
