Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 25 years old this year, and my health was very good before. My endurance was also long, but recently I found that my time had become shorter, and I saw many blood vessels bulging on my penis. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was varicocele. I want to ask why varicocele occurs?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is primarily diagnosed clinically due to excessive strain during daily activities or excessive sexual activity, which leads to the tortuosity or varicosity of the spermatic veins in the lower limbs. When the veins become tortuous, it disrupts the blood circulation of the spermatic veins, causing symptoms such as relaxation. First, it may manifest as groin pain or scrotal dampness, followed by a sensation of scrotal heaviness. In addition to these symptoms, it may also result in impaired male semen quality.
