		A varicocele is a dilatation of the pampiniform venous plexus and the internal spermatic vein.
		Varicocele is a well-recognized cause of decreased testicular function and occurs in approximately 15-20% of all males and in 40% of infertile males.
		Scrotal examination for varicocele should be a facet of the standard urologic physical examination because of the potential for varicoceles to cause significant testicular damage.

		A varicocele is a dilation of the pampiniform plexus - the veins that drain blood from the testicle.
		Varicoceles vary in size - some large varicoceles are actually visible beneath the surface of the scrotal skin.
		A varicocele may also lead to testicular atrophy (impaired growth) and thus the testicle on the side of a varicocele may be smaller than its contralateral mate.

	Varicocele
		If the doctor suspects a varicocele, he or she might confirm suspicions by using a stethoscope to hear the blood flowing backward through the faulty veins or might even use an ultrasound, which can identify malfunction of the veins and also measure blood flow.
		A varicocele is usually harmless and more than likely won't affect a guy's ability to father a child.
		Varicoceles are generally harmless, but if there is any pain and swelling the doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medication to relieve it.

	VARICOCELE
		A varicocele is thought to occur because of the greater distance that the main vein from the left testicle travels inside the body (compared to the vein from the right testicle) before emptying into its respective kidney vein.
		As a varicocele is thought to increase the temperature of the testicle, this instrument may be used to help detect an early varicocele, before it has become an apparent swelling on the testicle.
		If a man with a varicocele is seeking treatment with his partner for difficulty in conceiving a baby, then, depending on the couple’s circumstances — and especially whether or not any other causes of the infertility have been diagnosed — a doctor may want to discuss repair of the varicocele.

	Center for Male Reproduction - Varicocele
		Left-sided varicoceles are found in 85% of men with this problem and a right-sided varicocele is seen in 15%.
		Repair of the varicocele is indicated when the couple has documented infertility with normal or potentially normal female partner but a male with one or more abnormal semen parameters and the presence of a varicocele on physical exam.
		Repair should be done when a varicocele causes testicular pain or discomfort or there is a significant discrepancy between the size of the two testicles.
