A varicocele is an enlargment (dilatation) of veins (blood vessels) in the scrotum,the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles, It occurs next to and above one testicle or both testicles
Varicoceles may be asymptomatic with no symptoms.The size of a varicocele varies from case to case. Some cannot be seen, only felt. Some are large and can be easily seen. If you lie down, the blood from the veins drains away and the varicocele may seem to disappear. While standing, gravity will cause the blood to pool again and the varicocele reappears.
The affected veins are those that goes in the spermatic cord. The spermatic cord is like a tube that goes from each testicle up towards the lower abdomen, for that varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, which can cause infertility. However, not all varicoceles affect sperm production. Varicoceles can also cause testicles to shrink.
according to treatment ,because a varicocele usually causes no symptoms, it often requires no treatment. Varicoceles may be discovered during a fertility evaluation or a routine physical exam.
BUT >>if you experience PAIN or SWELLING in your scrotum or you discover A MASS on your scrotum or you're having problems with fertility, contact your doctor. A number of conditions can cause a scrotal mass or testicular pain, some of which require immediate treatment,If a varicocele causes symptoms, it often can be repaired surgically.
