Patient's question:
Left 0.28, right 0.26 need to have varicocele surgery? The doctor said it needs to be operated on, but I don't know what you think. These days, it's driving me crazy. SighDoctor's answer:
Varicocele (varicocele, VC) is a vascular inflammation that refers to the abnormal expansion, elongation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord. It can lead to pain and discomfort as well as progressive testicular dysfunction, making it one of the common causes of male infertility. The internal diameter of the spermatic vein is ≥1.8mm, there is no blood reflux during quiet respiration, the Valsalva maneuver shows reflux, and the reflux phase is ≥800ms. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of complications. If left untreated, it can affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
