Patient's question:
Color Doppler ultrasound examination revealed that in the supine position, the inner diameter at the widest point on the right side was approximately 0.15 cm, and the inner diameter at the widest point on the left side was approximately 0.18 cm. What kind of help is needed: Hello, how did you get varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. Interventional treatment: This method involves selectively or superselectively injecting embolic agents such as gelatin sponge, spring steel wires, or sclerosants into the veins of the spermatic cord through a catheter to overcome the inconvenience of varicose veins. Catheter embolization for varicocele has the advantages of being non-surgical, less expensive, and causing less pain compared to traditional surgical ligation. It can prevent postoperative complications such as scrotal edema and hematoma. However, its success rate is lower than that of surgical ligation.
