When To Contact Your Physician
Contact your doctor if you've any of the following problems following treatment:
• Recurring soreness not reduced by pain medicine
• Black and blue across the cut, bleeding through the incision, or puffiness in the scrotum
• A fever over 100.2 degrees Fahrenheit, or chills
Blood vessels Within The Scrotum
The scrotum is a sac of skin that covers the testicles—the male sex organs that produce sperm and the male hormones. Blood vessels in the scrotum carry blood to and from the testicles. The vessels that carry blood out from the testicles are called veins.
When There Is An Issue In The Veins
The veins that take blood from your testicles extend up into the groin. This means the blood will have to move upward a long way. Valves within the veins behave like gates to keep the blood from flowing back to the testicles. In many males, these valves do not shut completely. Or the muscles in the walls of the veins might be weak. Then some blood moves back into the scrotum. The blood gathers in the veins above the testicles. This will make the veins expand.
With or Without Treatment
A varicocele is rarely a severe condition. Should you have pain, treatment is likely to relieve your symptoms. If a varicocele is causing infertility, treatment can improve your sperm count. Regardless of whether you have treatment, you can lead a typical, active life.
