What is Varicocele?

  • A varicocele is the enlargement of veins within the scrotum, specifically those of the pampiniform plexus — a network of veins responsible for draining blood from the testicles.
  • Varicocele is relatively common, affecting approximately 15% of adult males and up to 20% of adolescent males, particularly between the ages of 15 to 25. It most often occurs on the left side of the scrotum.

Why does Varicocele Causes?

The exact cause of varicocele is not fully understood. However, it is believed to result from malfunctioning valves within the testicular veins that normally prevent the backward flow of blood. When these valves fail, blood can pool in the veins, leading to vein enlargement (dilation) in the scrotum.

Over time, this may contribute to testicular discomfort or impaired function in some individuals.

At Citi Vascular Centre in Hyderabad, varicocele is assessed and managed using evidence-based, minimally invasive treatment options tailored to each patient’s condition.
