Normal inner diameter of spermatic vein

I believe many male friends are not clear about the normal inner diameter of the spermatic vein, because if the spermatic vein is too narrow, it will affect the discharge of sperm, leading to symptoms of azoospermia or oligospermia, affecting male fertility. Under normal circumstances, the inner diameter of the spermatic vein is less than 2mm. If any abnormality is found in the spermatic vein, we should promptly check the cause of the disease.

What is the normal value of the varicocele?

Normal value of varicocele

The normal value of the varicocele is generally less than 2mm.

In color Doppler ultrasound examination, the normal value of the inner diameter of the spermatic vein should be within 1.8mm during quiet breathing, and within 2.0mm during deep inspiration or standing position.

Once there is a problem with the patient's spermatic cord, the patient needs to consult a doctor in time for a physical examination to avoid infertility due to this problem, which will affect the patient's health. It is especially important to pay attention to the normal value of the spermatic cord, so pay attention to this aspect of the problem.

3What are the examination items for varicocele?

1. Physical examination

During the examination, the patient with varicocele stands with the scrotum hanging down. Take a deep breath and squeeze the abdomen downward, and curved veins like roundworms will appear on the surface of the patient's scrotum skin. at the same time. The doctor will directly squeeze the scrotum with his hands to examine the testicles and epididymis, and can also observe whether there are enlarged veins.

2. Ultrasound examination

This test can assess the extent of varicocele in men. If the patient has swelling in the affected area, it may be a tumor, hernia, lymphadenitis, scrotal edema, etc. The doctor will arrange relevant examinations to rule out the possibility of other complications.

3. Routine examination of semen

Testing semen is mainly used to determine whether a man with varicocele has a condition that affects his semen. Because blood flows back into the scrotum, causing congestion in the scrotum and testicles, it directly increases the temperature inside the scrotum and affects sperm production. The condition will directly affect the number and quality of sperm.
