Patient's question:
I've been married for two years, and my wife hasn't been pregnant. After a thorough examination, it was found to be my problem—I have varicocele. Why do I have varicocele?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, varicocele has a certain impact on male fertility. The common causes of varicocele include: physical factors. Young and middle-aged men have more active sexual functions, and the blood supply to the contents of the scrotum is abundant. Therefore, some varicoceles may gradually disappear with age. Additionally, prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are also contributing factors. Anatomical factors, the internal spermatic vein is long and enters the renal vein at a right angle, encountering certain resistance to blood flow. The left internal spermatic vein near the left renal vein lacks valves, making it easier for blood to flow backward.
