Patient's question:
I heard that varicocele can cause infertility. What is varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello, varicocele is not only related to long-term standing but also has some connection with prolonged sitting and estrogen. Unlike men, varicocele in women mostly occurs in urban office workers. The occurrence of this symptom is somewhat related to your previous job. Varicocele is an irreversible pathological process. Once it is confirmed that you have varicocele, you should seek medical attention from a vascular surgery department in a regular hospital as soon as possible to avoid missing the best treatment window. Surgical treatment is available for varicocele, which includes high ligation of the great saphenous vein, stripping, and ligation of communicating vein branches, aiming to block the reverse flow of venous blood and reverse the series of pathological changes caused by blood reflux.
