A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein that can occur in the leg. A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds the testicles (scrotum) i. e., is an abnormal enlargement of the pampiniform venous plexus in the scrotum. This plexus of veins drains the testicles.
The testicular blood vessels originate in the abdomen and course down through the inguinal canal as part of the spermatic cord on their way to the testis. Upward flow of blood in the veins is ensured by small one-way valves that prevent backflow. Defective valves, or compression of the vein by a nearby structure, can cause dilatation of the testicular veins near the testis, leading to the formation of a varicocele.
A varicocele can result in decreased sperm production and quality, which in some cases can lead to infertility. It can also shrink the testicles.
VARICOCELE Varicoceles are common and develop slowly over time. Most males are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 25. They can be found in 15 percent of the general male population. They also affect around 15 percent of teenage boys. Varicoceles generally form during puberty and are more commonly found on the left side of your scrotum
Lifestyle factors such as activity VARICOCELEtype, diet, bowel health, testicular temperature, smoking, and alcohol moderation can affect both the occurrence rate and varicocele symptoms severity.
