antecedents and consequences:
The incidence rate of varicocele accounts for 10% of men aged 30-40 years. "It occurs 90% of the time on the left, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, resulting in dilation, tortuosity, and lengthening of the venous plexus.". Varicocele can also be caused by kidney tumors. The reason why varicocele deserves attention is that it may be accompanied by testicular atrophy and sperm production disorders, leading to infertility.
Your inspection:
"You may feel a dull pain, like a small bag of worms crawling into your scrotum, or you may not feel it at all.". However, when standing, the varicose venous plexus can be seen or felt at the spermatic cord, and the abdomen can be bulged vigorously. Increasing abdominal pressure can see that the varicose veins become more severe; A few will have neurasthenia at the same time. "In severe cases, there may be swelling pain in the scrotum and low back pain from standing for a long time, but resting on your back can relieve it.".
Doctor's treatment:
Through special examination methods, such as ultrasound diagnosis and infrared contact scrotal temperature measurement, varicocele can be found, and the doctor will determine whether your symptoms require treatment. At this point, either by injecting drugs to close it or binding it up to block the blood vessels. This is a small surgery that requires anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes.
To prevent recidivism:
Because varicocele is a type of venous tumor, it is possible to develop new varicoceles as long as new venous tumors repeatedly appear in the body.
