    The prevalence of varicose veins accounts for 10% of the total number of young men aged 15 to 30 years old. 90% of it occurs on the left side, due to blood deposition in the seminal venous vein, which leads to the dilation, coiling and elongation of the venous plexus capillaries. Seminal varicose veins can also be caused by kidney tumors. The reason why varices deserves great attention is that it may be accompanied by testicular atrophy and obstruction of male sperm conversion, causing infertility. Let’s discuss what causes varicocele in the left male testicle?

    Prevalence

    The enlargement, bending and increase of the spermatic venous plexus are called spermatic varicose veins. It is common in young people, mostly between the ages of 15 and 30. Varices of spermatic veins mostly occur on the left side, about 78% to 93%, the incidence rate on the right side is 1% to 7%, and the incidence rate on both sides is about 2% to 20%.

    type

    1. Lower burnt heat type

    The vagina becomes red, the veins protrude and look like long worms, the spermatozoa is enlarged, thickened and swollen, burning pain is accompanied by sticky and uncomfortable stools, the tongue coating is yellow and thick, and the pulse is stringy and slippery.

    2. Blood stasis blocking collaterals type

    The spermatic vein is twisted into a ball, the blue veins are bulging and exposed, the vagina is painful, the dull pain persists for a long time, and is aggravated by exertion, the tongue has ecchymosis, and the pulse is heavy and thready.

    3. Qi deficiency and depression type

    Pain in the vagina, aggravated by exertion, relieved by rest, fatigued, poor appetite, pale and fat tongue, slow and slow pulse.

    4. Cold stagnation and pouting Yin type

    Pain in the vagina, throbbing pain in the testicles, stretching to the lower abdomen and perineum, aggravated by standing, relieved by lying down, soreness in the waist and knees, aversion to cold, cold limbs, pale tongue with white coating, and a heavy and thready pulse.

    5. Liver Qi stagnation type

    Pain during vaginal bleeding, blue veins bulging out, looking like long worms, most of them have mood changes, dark red tongue, thin white coating, and heavy pulse.

    Reason for occurrence

    1. The left internal spermatic vein is long and enters the renal vein at an oblique angle, and the blood encounters certain frictional resistance. The left internal spermatic vein around the left renal vein has no heart valve, so blood can easily flow backward.

    2. The left internal spermatic vein is located behind the sigmoid colon and is easily compressed by intestinal secretions, affecting blood flow back.

    cause

    1. The temperature is too high and heat dissipation is poor.

    2. Congenital left seminal venous heart valve insufficiency.

    Congenital insufficiency of the heart valve in the left spermatic vein can lead to blood stagnation in the left spermatic vein.

    3. Blood stasis damages male testicles.

    4. Harm the interstitial cells of male testicles.
