Doctor's answer:

The causes of varicocele include:
1. Physiological factors: Young and middle-aged individuals have more active sexual functions, leading to abundant blood supply to the contents of the scrotum. Some cases of varicocele may gradually disappear with age. Additionally, prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are contributing factors.
2. Anatomical factors: The internal spermatic vein is long and enters the renal vein at a right angle, encountering certain resistance to blood flow. The left internal spermatic vein near the left renal vein lacks valves, making it easier for blood to flow backward.
Recommendation: Under normal conditions, the muscle fiber tissue in the spermatic capsule can generate a pumping effect, promoting venous return.
