Patient's question:
The doctor checked me and said I have varicocele, but I looked and noticed that the worm-like appearance in the scrotum wasn't very obvious. I want to know what causes varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the recurrence of dilated and tortuous veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment. Non-surgical treatment options include applying cold packs to the scrotum for mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia. Surgical treatment is recommended for more severe varicocele, cases where sperm count is consistently below 20 million per cubic centimeter for three consecutive times, or when testicular atrophy is present. If the dilated veins disappear when lying down, the inguinal vein ligation can be performed. It is recommended that you decide on the treatment method and medication based on your individual condition and seek early treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery. There are several treatment methods for male reproductive diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
