Patient's question:
A week ago, my uncle went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with varicocele. The doctor advised him to quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Since I also often smoke and drink beer, I'm afraid I might accidentally get this disease as well. Doctor, I would like to ask, what are the causes of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you are currently describing, varicocele on the testicles is believed to be a small part of inguinal varicocele, which may recur with a sense of testicular swelling. This can affect semen quality and lead to male infertility. First, it is recommended that you undergo a professional urological and male examination to confirm the color of the inguinal varicocele. If there is significant varicocele, high ligation of the inguinal varicocele should be performed, which is the most beneficial approach.
