A perfect family is built on the foundation of love, and children can be said to be another manifestation of a happy marriage, the crystallization of love, and an indispensable factor in maintaining family happiness.
However, the past may have gone against our wishes, and there are still many people around us who suffer from infertility, making it impossible to enjoy the joy of family life.
Among them, patients with varicocele often lack timely diagnosis and treatment due to a lack of conscious symptoms, ultimately leading to impaired spermatogenic ability and infertility.
Varicocele refers to the obstruction of venous return in the spermatic cord and the expansion of blood coils, which can be divided into two types: primary and secondary. The harm caused by both types can be significant.
What are the hazards of varicocele?
1. Impact on sperm production
The blood flow in the varicose veins is slow, causing blood stagnation and increasing local temperature in the testicles.
We know that the occurrence and growth of human sperm require a temperature below 37 ℃. Due to the increased temperature in the testicles, sperm production is mainly affected by varicocele.
2. Testicular atrophy
The veins in the male spermatic cord are obstructed in their return due to certain reasons, which can lead to tendril-shaped coiled dilation. In male infertility, about 20% to 30% of cases are caused by varicocele.
Severe varicocele infertility often results in testicular atrophy. The causes of testicular atrophy caused by varicocele are stagnation of the spermatic vein, higher scrotal temperature than normal individuals, testicular nutritional disorders, and toxins.
3. Causing male infertility
30% of male infertility patients are caused by varicocele, which is also the main cause of male infertility.
To prevent varicocele, the following items should not be ignored:
1. Persist in exercising:
More exercise can maintain good health, promote blood circulation, reduce the probability of developing varicocele, and maintain physical health.
2. Change underwear frequently:
Changing underwear frequently can also prevent the occurrence of many diseases.
3. Eat more vegetables and fruits:
Eat more vegetables and fruits to ensure the intake of vitamin C. On the basis of ensuring the body's nutritional balance, it improves immunity and enhances the ability to resist diseases. At the same time, avoid excessive smoking and drinking.
4. Treatment of other diseases:
Timely treatment of urinary and reproductive system infections such as prostatitis and urethritis to reduce the chance of inflammation.
5. Maintain a good mindset:
Meet various challenges in life with a positive attitude, do not put too much pressure on yourself, and avoid excessive fatigue.
