Patient's question:
Two months have passed since the laparoscopic surgery for varicocele on the left side, but the left spermatic vein is still thickened. What is the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a vascular disorder of spermatogenesis caused by the expansion of the spermatic veins and pampiniform plexus surrounding the spermatic cord, typically occurring on the left side. Re-examine the color Doppler flow imaging and semen analysis, carefully observe the changes in the diameter of the blood vessels. If the quality of semen stabilizes, there is no need to worry. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
