Patient's question:
I've been divorced for several years, and my wife has never been pregnant. Recently, I noticed that there are many veins bulging on my scrotum, like small earthworms. My sex drive has been short, without climax, and I feel weak all over. Sometimes, ejaculation even hurts. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said it was varicocele. What kind of help do I need: Can varicocele heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The probability of self-healing from varicocele is very low, and medicine has not yet fully clarified the mechanism by which this condition leads to infertility. Some doctors believe that it is because varicocele obstructs blood, causing elevated local pressure in the testes, which in turn blocks arterial blood circulation to the testes, leading to edema and excessive local temperature. This disrupts the normal sperm production and endocrine functions of the testes. Treatment needs to be chosen based on each individual's condition, as different conditions require different treatment methods.
