    What is varicocele?

    It is the enlargement and/or dilatation of the veins in the spermatic cord (scrotum). Similar to a varicose vein in the leg.

    This disease can cause the testicles not to develop normally.

    Up to 30% of patients with varicocele suffer infertility. It has a tendency to occur on the left side.

    • Pain gets worse during the course of the day.
