What causes left testicle ptosis?

The testicle is a very important organ for men. It is also very fragile and can easily get sick or injured. So what causes the left testicle to droop? Let's take this opportunity to find out with me today.

Left testicular ptosis is caused by varicocele. Varicocele refers to the obstruction of the venous return of the spermatic cord, valve failure, blood reflux and blood stagnation, resulting in the expansion, elongation and bending of the venous plexus. 95% of cases occur on the left side, and less on both sides. Most people believe that varicocele can affect the occurrence of sperm and the quality of semen and cause infertility. After surgical treatment, some people can restore their fertility. The incidence of this disease is about 20% in ordinary men and about 40% in infertile men. This disease is more common in young men, and is relatively rare in adolescents. The total incidence of varicocele in adolescents aged 6-19 is 10.76%, but the degree is more severe, mostly grade III. Primary varicocele Varicocele is mainly caused by blood congestion in the varicocele, and the upright posture of a person affects the reflux of the varicocele. The venous wall and the surrounding connective tissue are weak or the levator testis muscle is underdeveloped. The venous valve is defective or incompletely closed, so varicose veins are prone to occur. Recently, it has been reported that varicocele is closely related to masturbation. Wang Anxi reported that the pathological changes in the spermatic vein and blood flow obstruction are mutually causal and affect each other, forming a vicious cycle. Varicose veins can occur separately or simultaneously on both sides of the left and right sides, but the incidence of varicose veins on the left side is higher. The reason is that the left side of the spermatic vein is about It is 8 to 10 cm longer than the right side and enters the renal vein at a right angle, with high venous pressure; the left spermatic vein may be compressed by the colon; the left renal vein may be compressed between the aorta and the mesenteric artery, affecting the spermatic vein reflux, forming the so-called proximal "clamping" phenomenon; the right common iliac artery may compress the left common iliac vein, obstructing the left spermatic vein reflux, forming the so-called distal "clamping" phenomenon.

The above are the reasons for left testicular ptosis. If left testicular ptosis does not cause enough attention, it can easily lead to infertility in the future. Men should pay close attention to their physical condition and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as they find any abnormality.
