Varicose Veins in Scrotum Can Lead to Infertility

We often hear about varicose veins in the legs, but did you know that men can also get them in the scrotal area?

Varicose veins, when found in the scrotum, create a condition called varicocele.  Typically, men who have varicocele experience occasional swelling and (sometimes) discomfort in the genital region.  Up to 70-80% of men with varicocele have trouble getting their partner pregnant.

Other symptoms of varicocele include (though not all will necessarily be present):

-          Pain

-          Testicular Atrophy

-          Male Infertility

If you think you may have varicocele, make an appointment with your doctor.  And if you think you have male infertility, contact a reproductive health specialist like those at RSI, one of the Philadelphia area’s premiere fertility clinics.
