Varicocele (VC)

精索静脉曲张

英文解释

Varicocele (VC) is an enlargement phenomenon of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds the testicles (scrotum). These veins transport oxygen-depleted blood from the testicles, a varicocele occurs when blood pools in the veins rather than circulating efficiently out of the scrotum.

中文解释

精索静脉曲张 (VC) 是睾丸 (阴囊) 松弛皮肤袋内静脉增大的现象。这些静脉从睾丸输送缺氧的血液，当血液聚集在静脉中而不是有效地从阴囊中循环出来时，就会发生精索静脉曲张。
