Patient's question:
In May 2011, a magnetic resonance examination carefully checked the left seminal vein for tortuosity, widening, and an internal diameter of 2.2mm. The inner side and low-flow signal have not yet reached a worm-like state, but the surface has blood vessels, showing a feeling of standing for a long time due to the curvature. Sometimes it also itches.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a condition where blood flow in the spermatic veins is obstructed or refluxes, leading to blood stasis and causing varicose veins in the spermatic region. Varicocele with no obvious symptoms and without affecting fertility generally does not require surgical treatment. Non-surgical methods include wearing tight-fitting underwear and closely monitoring the condition. If the varicocele is of grade 2 or higher, early surgical treatment is necessary. When patients are affected by urological conditions, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If urological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly reassess the treatment plan.
