Patient's question:
Over thirty, I developed varicocele. Could you please tell me what kind of disease this is and what harms it may cause after contraction?Doctor's answer:
Hello: If you have varicocele, you can still have normal fertility after treatment. Varicocele is caused by blood stasis in the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord due to impaired venous return for some reason, leading to the tortuosity, elongation, and dilatation of the veins in the spermatic cord, forming a worm-like mass in the scrotum. When varicocele occurs on one side of the spermatic cord, blood flow increases, causing local temperature to rise. At the same time, it affects the quality of sperm in your body and increases the likelihood of sperm malformation. Untimely symptomatic treatment can affect sexual function, impair sperm quality, and lead to infertility. It is recommended that you go to a formal specialized hospital for relevant examinations, identify the cause, and receive targeted symptomatic treatment.
