Varicocele
A varicocele is a pathology of the veins in the cerebellar plexus of the spermatic cord, which cause varicose veins. It is often accompanied by haemorrhoids and enlarged veins of the lower limbs. The main pathology that bothers patients is a variety of pain or pulling sensations in the testicles. It usually occurs on the left side.
The most popular varicocele treatment options include:
- Ivanisevic surgery (ligation and cutting of the varicose vein or veins is done);
- Laparoscopic surgery (access is gained through the abdomen, the surgery is the same as the Ivanissevich method);
- Marmara operation (less traumatic than Ivanissevich operation, same procedure).
If the varicocele is not treated in time, there is some possibility of testicular atrophy. In addition, there is also the possibility of infertility associated with this pathology. Therefore, if symptoms of varicocele are detected, it is not unreasonable to seek help from a surgeon.
