Patient's question:
Symptoms of varicocele? Is varicocele serious? How to diagnose varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is a condition where the return of spermatic vein blood 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 men. The incidence rate is higher on the left side. 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 procedure 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 the disease. If left untreated, it can affect fertility.
