What causes varicocele?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What causes varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, varicocele is the abnormal dilatation, elongation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord.
Treatment for varicocele:
Conservative treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as supporting the scrotum and applying cold compresses may be used. I believe everyone knows that varicocele can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—opt for a light diet and avoid foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
