Testicular varicose veins in men: symptoms, risks, treatment and consequences

Drug therapy, as well as the use of folk remedies, is effective in the early stages of varicose veins in the left testicle in men, as well as the right, as a rule, in childhood and adolescence. If the pathology has moved to a deeper stage, then you can get rid of this problem only surgically.

Causes

Young men, adolescents, and their parents need to know exactly what factors influence the development of varicose veins in the right testicle in men, as well as the left.

1. Hereditary predisposition. If one of the next of kin has a cardiovascular disease, a tendency to sharp jumps in blood pressure or congenital malformations of the venous system (blood disease), there is a high risk of genetic transmission of the defect.
2. Small anomalies of development, congenital malformations of the reproductive system. Various bends, bends, asymmetries in the location of internal and external organs, vascular nodules can become one of the main causes of varicose veins, stagnation of blood in the lower part of the hip joint.
3. Kidney disease.
4. Genitourinary infection.
5. Inflammatory diseases of the abdominal cavity.
6. Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract: regular stool retention, increased gas formation, ulcerative processes of the duodenum.
7. Obesity.
8. Hormonal disorders.
9. A sedentary lifestyle - lack of exercise causes stagnation of blood in the pelvic area, contributes to hemorrhoidal nodular connections, inflammation of the prostate, kink of venous blood flow in the testes.
10. Thermal changes - overheating, hypothermia.

Symptoms

Detect the development of varicose veins (varicocele) of the testicle is possible only with a medical examination. In this case, the main complaint of the patient is pulling pain or discomfort in the inguinal region from the left, right side. With a visual examination and palpation, the urologist can accurately determine the presence of edema. In addition, as the disease develops, the following specific symptoms of testicular varicose veins in men gradually appear:

1. Decreased reproductive activity.
2. Potency problems.
3. Discomfort when changing position, walking.
4. Burning in the scrotum.
5. Vein swelling from the side of the lesion.
6. Clear blue skin.
7. Constant spastic pressure on the inguinal region with no tendency to attenuation.
8. The increase in scrotum in size.
9. Problems with urination.

Nonspecific symptoms

The non-specific manifestations of swelling of the genital organs in men include:

1. Lethargy.
2. Drowsiness.
3. Prostration.
4. Sleep disturbance with frequent awakenings due to unpleasant sensations in the lower abdomen, perineum.
5. Nausea.

With damage to the urinary tract, stagnation of urea and uric acid is observed. This leads to general intoxication of the body: nausea, poor health, impaired performance, yellowing of the skin, pain syndrome.

Risks and consequences

Varicose veins on the testicles in medical terminology is called varicocele. This is a pathological condition in which there is a significant violation of the venous blood supply to the organ, with a small number of symptoms in some cases, the patient does not even know about the current problem. The diagnosis is finally confirmed already at an advanced stage, when there are difficulties with urination and swelling of the testicles, penis. To avoid the unpleasant consequences of testicular varicose veins in men, it is necessary to immediately begin complex treatment.

Complications

Procrastination or ignoring often leads to complications:

• Infertility.
• Toxic damage to the body. Swelling veins can block the urinary tract, preventing the natural release of urea from the body. It stagnates in the ducts and affects the entire circulatory system, gives complications to the kidneys, liver, and has a detrimental effect on reproductive function.
• The death of tissues as a result of a violation of the nutritional function of blood. Blood carries oxygen to tissues and cells and takes carbon dioxide - this is called transport metabolism. If this function is not performed on time and in full, necrotic changes begin.

How to treat testicular varicose veins in men?

The lack of timely adequate treatment for varicocele (varicose expansion in the spermatic cord) in men can lead to serious, and sometimes irreversible, consequences, such as infertility and testicular body atrophy. Today, thanks to medical preventive examinations, it is possible to identify the development of this pathology in the early, unreleased stages. And this, in turn, makes it possible to carry out gentle treatment with the help of drug therapy.

It should be noted that the prescription of drugs, the determination of the course of treatment and the dosage are determined solely by the andrologist, the self-medication for testicular varicose veins in men is unacceptable and fraught with serious complications. Drug therapy for varicocele is based on the use of certain groups of drugs with a strictly targeted effect.

Be sure to appoint the so-called venoprotectors:

1. "Troxevasin" - is available both in the form of ointments, and in tablet form. Strengthens the walls of blood vessels and relieves inflammation.
2. "Excuzan" - is used at the initial stage of the disease. The tablet preparation is made from natural ingredients and contains vitamin B1.
3. "Detralex" - recommended for varicose veins to relieve swelling and eliminate pain, suitable for long-term (up to a year) use.

With varicocele, it is important to ensure full circulation with the help of special drugs. For example, such as Trental, which normalizes blood flow and the consistency of blood (reduces its viscosity).

In addition to taking medications inside, with varicocele, the use of medicinal ointments and creams for external use is recommended. They have properties similar to tablets, and thereby enhance their therapeutic effect. Among the most popular ointments, the following should be mentioned:

1. Ointment "Troxevasinum".
2. Tromblex.
3. Venolife.
4. Lyoton (gel).

The use of a group of antioxidants is important to enrich the blood with oxygen, for this, such drugs as "Antiox", "Triovit" are suitable.

Anticoagulants will help regulate the process of blood coagulation.

To maintain the function of spermatogenesis at an acceptable level, it is necessary to use vitamin complexes containing vitamins A, E, C and minerals (selenium and zinc).

Surgery

I would immediately like to warn that it will not be possible to cure testicular varicose medically, it is only possible to eliminate this problem surgically. Unfortunately, varicose testicles very often develops asymptomatically and very slowly, and the main symptoms begin to appear even in cases when the patient is in adulthood. In fact, such a disease should be treated after the person who has been diagnosed with this disease is 18 years old, but not later, since varicocele simply leads to infertility. Before the above age, it is also not recommended to operate on the patient, since in such cases relapses are possible.

Doctors use the surgical method according to Ivanissevich to treat testicular varicose veins, in this case only local anesthesia is used, and after the pain medication begins to act, the surgeon dissects the skin on the left side in the ileo-inguinal region. After this, the surgeon bandages the veins of the testis and spermatic cord with a medical thread from kapron, thus creating an obstacle to the reverse flow of blood.

Possible and other surgical methods of surgery for testicular varicose veins in men, and one of the most effective is considered to be microsurgical endovascular surgery, during which clogged damaged veins with special drugs. There are other methods of surgical treatment of testicular varicose veins, but the optimal option, of course, is selected only by the attending physician, taking into account all the features of the patient's body.

Alternative treatment

It is important to understand that the use of alternative methods of treatment should be coordinated with the attending physician, a specialized specialist - andrologist. In principle, treatment with folk remedies for varicose veins in men is divided into two main types: decoctions and infusions for internal use and healing baths with the addition of these medicinal decoctions.
