Varicocele

Varicocele Treatment in Tardeo, Mumbai 

Varicocele is a term for the enlargement of veins in the scrotum (a pouch that holds the testicles). This can raise the risk of infertility because sperm production decreases. 

What do we need to know about varicocele?

During puberty, testicles need more blood. If the valves present inside the veins cannot ensure proper blood flood, some blood begins to flow backwards, resulting in varicocele. In a way, this condition is similar to the problem of varicose veins in the legs. Varicocele occurs mostly on the left side of the scrotum. 

To seek treatment, you can search online for vascular surgery hospitals in Mumbai or a vascular surgeon near me.

What are the symptoms of varicocele?

• Ache in the testicle
• Changes in the size of the testicle 
• Fertility problems in men

What are the causes of varicocele?

• Valves are not working or there is sluggish blood flow
• When blood flows backward, it can cause lymph nodes to swell
• Swollen lymph nodes can be the cause of backward blood flow
• Swollen lymph may also cause the swelling of scrotal veins
• Dilation of veins

What are the complications?

• Affected testicles will shrink in size due to compression of sperm tubules. 
• During infertility, varicocele might keep the local temperature too low or too high, which can affect sperm formation, movement and its motility.
• If left untreated, it might also cause testicular atrophy, which is a strong connection between varicoceles and male infertility. 
• Formation of blood clots and infection.

Conclusion

Currently, there are no medications that can help prevent varicoceles. However, you can:

• Exercise because proper blood circulation has a positive effect on veins and artery health. 
• Change your diet. Increase the quantity of fruits, vegetables, green, leafy vegetables, fish and poultry products.
