Varicocele is one of the common male diseases that male friends suffer from. The incidence of varicocele in males is about 15%, especially in young people aged 20-30.
Experts say that once the blood flow from the spermatic vein is poor, it can cause the venous plexus in the testicles to tangle together, causing an increase in the temperature inside the testicles. This series of changes can harm the health of sperm, leading to abnormal semen, reduced sperm count, and decreased sperm motility.
When it comes to infertility, many male friends may first think of the reasons for oligospermia and azoospermia, and easily overlook varicocele. The incidence of this disease is approximately 15% among ordinary people, and it is the most common among young people aged 20-30. Because when the young friends mostly adopt the upright posture, the venous blood in the spermatic cord has to overcome the gravity to flow back from bottom to top. If it is an abnormal venous valve in the spermatic cord, it will prevent normal blood flow and accumulate in the scrotum. Due to frequent sexual activity in young people, the scrotum is often congested, making it highly susceptible to varicocele.

Once the blood flow from the spermatic veins is poor, the venous plexus in the testicles will become tangled together, causing an increase in temperature inside the testicles, which naturally endangers sperm. This is also the reason for abnormal semen, decreased sperm count, and decreased sperm motility. According to relevant data, nearly four adults in male infertility patients are accompanied by varicocele.
What are the symptoms of varicocele?
When a man suffers from varicocele and is in a standing state, the scrotum will swell, feel heavy and swollen, and even experience pain and discomfort. May radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, or thighs. The general symptoms are mild when waking up in the morning, worsened when standing and walking, and relieved after lying down and resting. The clinical symptoms may not be consistent with the degree of varicocele, as some patients may already have severe varicocele but do not have any symptoms; Some patients may have mild varicose symptoms, but they may experience severe scrotal sagging pain, even accompanied by symptoms such as insomnia, decreased appetite, and dizziness.
Experts remind that when male friends accidentally develop varicocele, they should maintain a high level of attention and seek professional medical examination and active treatment.
