Many people know that varicocele is one of the causes of infertility. Do you know why men suffer from varicocele? Let's look at the main causes of varicocele. Varicocele has a great impact on the family and often appears in the life of men. Therefore, we should understand the cause and treatment of varicocele.
Causes of varicocele
1. Long-term medication: antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, antibacterial drugs and drugs for treating heart disease and gastric ulcer have the disadvantage of damaging sperm.
2. Underwear is too tight: tight-fitting underwear not only oppresses male reproductive organs, but also affects the normal development of testicles. It is not breathable, does not dissipate heat, and is not conducive to the survival of sperm.
3. Smoking and drinking: The number of sperm of smokers is less than that of normal men, but the number of incomplete sperm is much higher than that of normal men; However, alcohol will cause sperm head and tail deformity and lower vitality. This can make the fetus deformed.
4. Sexual disorder causes venereal diseases: the direct result of extramarital sex and one night stand is easy to suffer from gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, AIDS and other vicious diseases, which seriously damage male reproductive function and reduce sperm survival rate.
5. Preferential food: the generation and development of sperm cannot be separated from nutrition. For example, the nitrogen, vitamin B12 and vitamin C supplied by arginine to sperm can promote sperm production and protect sperm against invasion of harmful factors. We should expand the variety of food and avoid single food and unbalanced nutrition.
Treatment of varicocele
1. Drug treatment
The mechanism of infertility caused by varicocele is not completely clear, and there is no specific reproductive pathology treatment drug at present. It is reported that people who do not improve the quality of semen after surgery use drugs to stimulate the production of testosterone in testicular interstitial cells, promote the production of sperm in convoluted tubules, improve the quality of semen and increase the probability of pregnancy.
2. Proper exercise
Conservative treatment also includes rest, wearing underwear, reducing strenuous exercise, and appropriate use of blood activating drugs.
3. Surgical treatment
There are two main surgical approaches: retroperitoneum through iliac fossa and inguinal canal. It is unnecessary to add shunt. The main reasons for the failure of the operation were missed ligation of vein branches and injury of internal spermatic artery.
