Overview
Varicocele refers to the enlargement of veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins that occur in the legs. This condition can lead to discomfort and affect male fertility by impairing sperm production and quality.
Understanding the problem
Symptoms
- A visible or palpable lump in the scrotum
- Dull, aching pain or discomfort, often worsening with prolonged standing or physical activity
- Enlarged, twisted veins (feels like a "bag of worms")
- Reduced testicular size on the affected side
When to see a doctor
Consult a doctor if you experience persistent pain, swelling, noticeable asymmetry in the testicles, or concerns about fertility.
Causes
- Psychological Causes
- Biological Causes
- Risk Factors
- Anxiety and stress due to pain or fertility concerns
- Emotional strain from the diagnosis of a reproductive issue
- Improper functioning of valves in the veins of the spermatic cord, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge
- Poor circulation and increased pressure in the veins of the scrotum
- Hormonal imbalances or overheating of the testicles, impacting sperm production
- Being male, particularly during puberty when varicocele often develops
- Left-side predominance due to the anatomical structure of the male reproductive system
- Infertility concerns, as varicocele is a common factor in male infertility
Diagnosis
Physical examination is the primary method for diagnosing varicocele. If the condition is difficult to detect, an ultrasound may be used to assess vein enlargement and blood flow in the scrotum.
Behavioral Therapy
- Psychological counseling to manage anxiety or stress related to fertility concerns or chronic pain
- Fertility counseling may be considered for couples trying to conceive
Medications
- Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may help manage discomfort
- In some cases, hormone therapies may be used if hormonal imbalances are contributing to infertility
