Varicocele surgery in Iran at Erfan Hospital

Varicocele, pronounced “vari-co-seel,” is when veins in your scrotum swell and get enlarged. It’s a lot like a varicose vein in your leg. It might feel like a bag of worms.

It usually shows up above one your testicles, most often the left one. You can usually see it when you stand up, but not when you lie down.

It should be harmless, but it can be uncomfortable or painful. And it might affect your fertility or cause your testicles to shrink.

This condition is fairly common and usually affects young men. About 10 to 15 of every 100 men have this problem.

If your varicocele causes problems, your doctor may send you to a specialist called a urologist.
