Patient's question:
The testicle on the left side can be felt with very thick veins when standing up, and the symptoms are reduced when lying down. Recently, there are also veins connected at the bottom of the right testicle.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to male infertility through various different pathways. It not only interferes with the regeneration of sperm but also causes a decrease in sperm motility. Therefore, patients with severe varicocele still need to consider active treatment. For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as reporting the scrotum and applying cold compresses are recommended. For severe varicocele, patients with a sperm count consistently below 20 million for three consecutive times or those with testicular atrophy; or those whose varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the varicocelectomy (high ligation of internal spermatic vein) can be performed. In fact, suffering from urological diseases is not frightening. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely when the disease is detected early, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
