Varicocele is one of the most common reversible causes of male infertility. It occurs when the veins within the scrotum become enlarged and dilated, similar to varicose veins that occur in the legs.
This abnormal enlargement interferes with normal blood circulation and raises the temperature around the testes. Since sperm production requires a temperature slightly lower than body temperature, this increase can impair sperm development.
Men with Varicocele may experience reduced sperm count, decreased sperm motility, and abnormal sperm morphology.
Treatment options include surgical repair of the affected veins, which may improve sperm quality and fertility outcomes in erotic many patients.
