Patient's question:
Can someone with varicocele serve as an air force pilot? I got varicocele in a very strange way, and it made me feel bad all day. The doctor also said I couldn't eat this or that, but I don't understand any of it. What causes varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause blood stasis and reduced flow in the testes and surrounding tissues, leading to a decrease in the nutrients essential for sperm growth and development, thereby affecting sperm development. Up to 30% to 40% of male infertility cases are attributed to varicocele.Recommendation: It is best to consult and undergo examination and treatment at a reputable hospital in Xianyang. This condition is not always curable solely through surgery. For younger individuals who have not yet married and exhibit symptoms, using an scrotal support band can alleviate symptoms. In such cases, symptoms often subside after marriage. For more severe symptoms, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can be performed.
