Varicocele

Varicocele and its diagnosis and treatment

Varicocele is a vein located inside the scrotum. It is most often seen in the left testicle and sometimes on the right. According to doctors, the likelihood of a varicocele being on both sides of the scrotum is low. Varicocele is like varicose veins in the legs. This disease is rare in people under 15 years of age, but it occurs in 40 percent of adult men and is located on the left side in 90 percent of cases and 10 percent on both sides of the testicle. It is better to know that the anatomy of the left and right testicles is different from each other.

When a person has a varicocele in the scrotum, the venous valve loses its function, blocking blood flow upward toward the heart and causing blood to pool in that area. This causes swelling, shrinking of the testicles, infertility, and pain in the person's abdomen.

Varicocele of the testicle is a common disease among men. This disease may cause infertility in 40 percent of them. In some of them, the sperm count also decreases. Varicocele and pregnancy is one of the important topics that researchers have studied. According to research conducted in 2016, the treatment of varicocele and the study of fertility disorders caused by this disease have been the concern of many doctors and researchers. To make sure whether you have this disease or not, it is better to meet with a urologist to ensure your condition and the possibility of infertility.
