Patient's question:
Varicocele is caused by sexual intercourse, I feel extremely guilty about this matter and am almost crazy. Could a teacher demonstrate this for me? Can varicocele be cured?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is an abnormal dilatation, elongation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord. Varicocele involves vascular inflammation and is more common on the left side. It can easily lead to abnormal semen, increased testicular volume, reduced testicular reflux, and impaired testicular spermatogenesis, thereby affecting fertility and causing male infertility. It is recommended to seek a highly authoritative hospital in your area for a thorough examination and treatment. The treatment of primary varicocele should be chosen based on the patient's condition, whether surgical intervention is necessary. Medication treatment mainly includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and flavonoid drugs, such as indomethacin, ibuprofen, celecoxib, clomiphene, and tamoxifen. Surgical methods include traditional open surgery, microscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and minimally invasive embolization techniques.
