What are the symptoms of varicose cord?

Varicose cord is divided into three grades according to its severity. This is also a common clinical problem. Varicose cord is more common in young and middle-aged people, and the symptoms are more obvious. They can usually be detected by touch. Surgical treatment is the main treatment.

Surgery

Surgery is the main treatment method and can achieve ideal therapeutic effects. Some people also take (or combine) drug treatment.

First, secondary factors such as renal tumors, hydronephrosis, retroperitoneal tumors, and ectopic blood vessels should be ruled out.

Primary VC accompanied by infertility or semen abnormalities are all indications for treatment regardless of the severity of the symptoms. Current surgical treatments include high ligation of the internal spermatic vein through the inguinal canal, laparoscopic surgery, high ligation of the internal spermatic vein through the retroperitoneum, and varicocelectomy. Compared with inguinal canal surgery and laparoscopic surgery, retroperitoneal high ligation of the varicocele has the advantages of less surgical trauma, less risk of damaging other blood vessels, less risk of missing the varicocele, shorter operation time, lower surgical costs, less postoperative complications, and lower recurrence rate. It is the preferred treatment for unilateral varicocele.

The improvement of semen parameters and pregnancy rate in patients treated with surgery combined with medication were significantly better than those treated with surgery alone.

prevention

The improvement rate of semen after varicocelectomy can reach 50% to 80%. There are many factors that affect semen improvement rate and pregnancy rate. The older the age and the longer the disease course, the greater the damage to the testicles. When the sperm count before surgery is greater than 10 million per milliliter, the improvement rate of semen after surgery is 85% and the pregnancy rate is 70%; if the sperm count before surgery is less than 10 million per milliliter, the improvement rate of semen after surgery is 35% and the pregnancy rate is 27%. The possibility of restoration of fertility after surgery for patients with azoospermia is extremely small.
