What to do if masturbation causes varicocele

Varicose veins are a common clinical disease, especially in men. Many factors may lead to varicocele, which is very harmful to the male body. Of course, frequent masturbation may also cause varicocele, so when symptoms occur, treatment measures must be taken in time to avoid worsening of the disease. So what should I do if masturbation causes varicocele?

1. Conservative treatment of varicocele

Varicose veins are likely to lead to two results. The first is the decline in sperm quality. The other is local pain and discomfort in the scrotum. If the patient does not have fertility needs and does not have obvious pain symptoms, surgical treatment can be temporarily considered. Although patients with varicocele cannot heal themselves, if the symptoms are not very serious, conservative treatment can be considered. Generally speaking, conservative treatment includes: proper rest, wearing tight underwear, reducing strenuous exercise, and appropriate use of blood-activating drugs.

2. Surgery

If varicocele has developed to the point where it seriously affects the quality and quantity of sperm in men, then the patient must undergo surgery to restore normal reproductive function. However, it should be noted that some patients will not be able to restore their reproductive ability after varicocele surgery. This may be because varicocele has seriously affected the patient's reproductive ability and even led to permanent azoospermia.

3. Others

At present, there are three main methods for varicocelectomy: open inguinal surgery, laparoscopic varicocelectomy and microscopic varicocelectomy. Among these three methods, microscopic varicocelectomy can ligate the vein more thoroughly, preserve arteries and lymphatic vessels, and significantly improve semen quality after surgery, recover quickly, have a low recurrence rate and fewer complications. Therefore, this surgery is relatively less invasive and has relatively low risks.
