Common "Varicocoel" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Varicocoel

Varicocele is the inflation of veins that carries oxygen-depleted blood from the scrotum. It is caused either by compression of adjacent veins or improper functioning of valves in the veins. It leads to infertility in some cases by decreasing the production of sperm or by reducing sperm quality. Symptoms are dull ache, heaviness, etc. It is diagnosed by physical examination and ultrasound. It usually requires no treatment, but if it has pain or other problems, then varicocelectomy is advised.
