Patient's question:
Is Zizhong Yishen Pill harmful to varicocele? Does varicocele heal on its own? My varicocele should not be too severe, just occasional discomfort in the scrotum. If I don't treat it, will varicocele heal over time?Doctor's answer:
The causes of varicocele include: physiological factors such as abundant blood supply to the contents of the scrotum, prolonged standing, and excessive abdominal pressure; the long spermatic vein entering the renal vein at a right angle, causing resistance to blood flow and blood reflux. Recommendation: It is best to consult and undergo treatment at a regular, large hospital. The long spermatic vein entering the renal vein at a right angle causes some resistance to blood flow. The left spermatic vein near the left renal vein lacks valves, making it easy for blood to reflux. Prolonged standing and increased abdominal pressure are also contributing factors.
