VaricoceleVaricocele, also known as varicose seal or varicoscele, is an abnormal enlargement of the varicose veins that occur in the scrotum. A varicocele usually forms when valves inside the veins prevent proper blood flow, which causes the blood to accumulate, leading to swelling of the veins.Varicoceles are most commonly found to occur in the left testicle. They are fairly common and it effects around 40% of men diagnosed with infertility. Varicocele treatments are mainly performed to improve male fertility . It is usually done surgically on an outpatient basis using a general anesthesia. In this procedure, a small incision is made in the abdomen to identify the veins that produce the varicocele which is then cut to eliminate blood flow to the varicocele. Alternatively, a nonsurgical procedure called percutaneous embolization can also be done to treat a varicocele. Symptoms
