Will varicocele cause swelling in the lower back?

Varicortitis is a disease that develops quickly, which is what we often call an acute disease. When varicocele attacks, the patient will feel obvious pain in the spermatic cord tissue, and this pain extends to a wide area, causing pain in a large area of ​​the body. Varicortitis is generally caused by bacterial infection, etc., and the skin will become red and swollen over a large area, and the waist will also be very painful. You need to go to the hospital for diagnosis. So, will varicocele swell up the lower back?

Most cases of spermatic corditis are acute, and the pathogens are often common bacteria or tuberculosis, and most of them are accompanied by diseases such as epididymitis. In addition, there are also pathogenic pathogens such as filarial worms and Treponema pallidum. Most of these pathogens invade the spermatic cord through the lymphatic vessels, causing inflammation of the spermatic cord tissue, and sometimes pathological changes such as abscess, necrosis, and granuloma can be formed.

Symptoms and signs

Typical symptoms

The onset is acute, with obvious local pain, which can radiate along the spermatic cord to the groin, and even to the upper or lower abdomen.

The surface skin is red and swollen, the spermatic cord is thickened in a hammer-shaped or cord-like manner, and is obviously painful to touch. The vas deferens is unclear. If abscesses are formed, there may be a sense of fluctuation.

The spermatic cord starts from the inguinal groove, runs obliquely inward and downward, passes through the scrotum, and ends at the posterior edge of the testicle. It is a soft round cord that suspends the testicle and epididymis. After getting spermatic corditis, inflammation can cause the spermatic cord to thicken and swell. When it adheres to the surrounding tissues, it can cause scrotal swelling pain, lower abdominal pain, and perineal pulling pain. If the infection is severe, there may also be systemic reactions such as fever and headache.

There are also some diseases that have similar symptoms to those of spermatic cord inflammation, such as scrotal, perineal and lower abdominal distension and pain, which should be distinguished. These diseases include varicocele, hydrocele, spermatic cord or epididymal tuberculosis, testicular torsion and traumatic hematoma, scrotal hemofilariasis, spermatic cord tumor, etc. Treatment should be carried out after a clear diagnosis.

If you have lower back pain during varicocele, it is more or less related to varicocele, but it cannot be completely determined that it is caused by this disease. Therefore, whether the pain can be relieved after surgery depends mainly on whether it is caused by varicocele.

The following treatments are available for the treatment of varicocele:

1. Systemic antibiotics.

2. Use a scrotal support to lift the scrotum and apply hot compress and physical therapy.

3. For chronic varicocele caused by vasectomy, 12.5 mg of hydrocortisone acetate, 80,000 units of gentamicin, plus 3-5 ml of 1% procaine (add 5 mg of chymotrypsin if necessary) can be injected locally once a week, and generally it will be effective after 3-5 injections.

4. Avoid sexual stimulation and refrain from sexual intercourse to reduce excessive congestion and local damage to the reproductive organs.

5. Avoid spicy, fried and other hot foods during treatment
