A varicocele happens when the veins become enlarged inside the scrotum. It is a not-so-rare condition occurring in 10-15 out of 100 males and is similar to getting varicose veins in your legs. They usually form during puberty and might grow larger if not taken care of immediately. Usually, this condition does not cause any problems and is harmless. However, they might sometimes cause pain or tend to shrink the testicles. Generally, you don’t experience any symptoms, but there are concerns about the condition, which might cause infertility in males. Also, the growth of the testicle slows down. Thus, it is essential to treat the disease as early as possible.

What is Varicocelectomy? 

It is a surgical procedure that treats Varicocele. It reduces testicular pain and can increase male fertility. Getting rid of varicoceles in the scrotum is important as it can block the blood flow to the rest of the reproductive system. As this blood cannot return to the heart through veins, it can become abnormally large, which results in a decrease in the sperm count. 

Varicoceles often appear on the left side of the scrotum. The doctor might recommend this procedure if the patient is having trouble conceiving a child, has a low sex drive, or has decreased testosterone production. The surgery is outpatient, and the patient will be discharged on the same day.
