Varicocele Open Access Journals
The scrotum may be a skin-covered sac that holds your testicles. A vein abnormality within the scrotum may end in a varicocele.A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum. These veins are called the pampiniform plexus.A varicocele only occurs within the scrotum and is extremely almost like varicose veins which will occur within the leg.A varicocele may result in decreased sperm production and quality, which in some cases can cause infertility. It can also shrink the testicles.Varicoceles are common. They can be found in 15 percent of the man population and around 20 percent of adolescent males. The
anatomy of the right and left side of your scrotum isn’t the same. Varicoceles can exist on each side , but it’s extremely rare. Not all varicoceles affect sperm production. A spermatic cord holds up each testicle. The cords also contain the veins, arteries, and nerves that support these glands. In healthy veins inside the scrotum, one-way valves move the blood from the testicles to the scrotum, and then they send it back to the heart.Sometimes the blood doesn’t move through the veins love it should and begins to pool within the vein, causing it to enlarge. A varicocele develops slowly over time.There are not any established risk factors for developing a varicocele, and therefore the exact cause is unclear.
