Varicocele

Evaluation and treatment of varicocele and associated symptoms or fertility concerns.

What is Varicocele?

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins around the testicle. It is similar to varicose veins but occurs inside the scrotum.

Some people have no symptoms, while others experience a dull aching or dragging sensation, particularly after standing for long periods or physical activity.

Varicocele can sometimes be associated with fertility problems, although not everyone with a varicocele has fertility difficulties.

Treatment depends on symptoms, examination findings and individual circumstances.
