Patient's question:
Recently, I suddenly felt unwell and did a thorough check-up. The results showed varicocele. How did I get varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a relatively common condition, with poor habits such as prolonged standing or sitting being potential causes that can lead to the obstruction of the pampiniform plexus veins in the scrotum. This can result in abnormal swelling and the delayed return of testicular venous blood, ultimately causing varicocele. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of warm water, take breaks to prevent fatigue, ensure sufficient deep sleep, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from alcohol and smoking to prevent allergic food reactions. Maintaining a good mood can also help in the complete elimination of the condition.Symptomatic or secondary varicocele can be caused by internal vein issues. It is recommended to visit a formal specialized hospital for a detailed examination and, based on the results, receive symptomatic treatment.
