Can varicocele be serious over time?

Varicocele generally refers to varicose veins of the spermatic cord, and if long-term varicocele is not treated timely and effectively, it will generally become more serious. For patients with varicocele, if long-term without timely and effective treatment, testicular blood circulation is poor, which can seriously lead to testicular and epididymal function is impaired, causing infertility. Clinically, for asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with normal semen analysis, only a scrotal band or tight underwear can be used, and regular follow-up is sufficient. But for patients with serious conditions, accompanied by sperm abnormalities and other uncomfortable symptoms, you need to actively carry out medication, surgery and other treatments. 1. Drugs: such as hepatic saponins, with anti-inflammatory, anti-exudative, protect the role of collagen fibers in the wall of the vein; and flavonoids, with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effect, can quickly improve venous tone, reduce capillary permeability, improve lymphatic return rate, reduce edema. 2. Surgery: Transperitoneal laparoscopic spermatic vein ligation, high spermatic vein ligation, microscopic spermatic vein ligation, spermatic vein embolization, etc. are common. It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions as soon as possible to cooperate with the treatment, drugs should be applied under the guidance of the doctor. At the same time, pay attention to develop good living habits, maintain hygiene and cleanliness.
