Patient's question:
How is varicocele treated? What are the reasons for varicocele in men? How did I get this disease? I used to have sexual intercourse and bought sex toys, but I stopped after starting work. However, now that I'm married and want to have children, I've been unable to get pregnant. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed varicocele. What should I do? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to an increase in testicular temperature. The normal testicular temperature in healthy individuals is 32.2℃ on the left and 31.8℃ on the right. However, in patients with varicocele, the disrupted venous drainage causes the testicular temperature to be 0.6-0.8℃ higher than the normal temperature, which can interfere with sperm development. Minimally invasive high ligation of varicocele can be considered as a treatment option. It is specifically recommended to consult a specialized perinatal hospital and seek medical advice under the guidance of a doctor. We sincerely wish you a speedy recovery. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
