Dilation of the complex network of veins that comprise part of the spermatic cord to form a palpable swelling within the scrotum.<\/p>\n
A condition in which the veins in the scrotum near the testicles are swollen and enlarged.<\/p>\n
A swelling or enlargement of the veins in the spermatic cord.<\/p>\n
Swelling of a vein in the spermatic cord which can be corrected by surgery.<\/p>\n
Swollen (varicose) veins around the testes, most often the left testicle. If painful, the condition can be relieved by wearing an athletic supporter or tight briefs, but this can affect fertility. Where pain is great or infertility is at issue, surgery may be performed to tie off defective veins.<\/p>\n
Dilatation or swelling of blood vessels associated with the spermatic cord in the testes.<\/p>\n
Enlarged veins along the spermatic cord, or vas deferens, the tubular structure that suspends the testicles and transports sperm cells. Abnormal valves in the veins cause blood to back up and stretch the veins, disrupting normal blood flow. Varicoceles often develop slowly and usually are pain\u00ac less. They are most likely to develop on the left side of the scrotum in men between ages 15 and 25 and are a common cause of infertility in men. In an older man, the sudden appearance of a varicocele can be a sign of a kidney tumor affecting the renal vein and altering blood flow from the scrotum.<\/p>\n
A collection of dilated veins in the spermatic cord, more commonly affecting the left side of the scrotum than the right. It usually produces no symptoms apart from occasional aching discomfort. In some cases varicocele is associated with a poor sperm count sufficient to cause infertility. Surgical correction of the varicocele in such patients (varicocelectomy) usually results in a considerable improvement in the quality and motility of the sperm.<\/p>\n
Enlargement of the veins of the spermatic cord, commonly occurring above the left testicle. Varicoceles, present in more than 10% of males, are usually identified during adolescence. Male infertility has been linked to varicoceles, but a definitive causal relation has not been established.<\/p>\n
A pathological condition characterized by the abnormal enlargement of the veins responsible for draining the testicles.<\/p>\n
Varicocele refers to varicose veins around a testicle and is a condition that predominantly affects the left testicle. Generally harmless, it may result in scrotal discomfort or a reduced sperm count. Wearing supportive underwear can alleviate the discomfort. If the sperm count is low, surgical intervention to cut and seal off the enlarged veins might be recommended.<\/p>\n
Enlargement of the veins along each side of the scrotum, resulting in a soft, elastic lump that resembles a bag of worms beneath the skin, typically more noticeable on the left side than the right. It can cause aching in the testicle, which may be alleviated by using a supportive bandage or, in severe instances, through surgical intervention.<\/p>\n
