Varicocele is a vascular inflammation that refers to the abnormal expansion, elongation, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord. It can lead to pain and discomfort as well as progressive testicular dysfunction, making it one of the common causes of male infertility. Symptoms typically manifest as scrotal swelling when standing, persistent or intermittent dull or aching pain in the scrotum, which may radiate to the upper abdomen, groin area, or lower back. Symptoms may worsen after physical exertion, prolonged standing, or walking, while lying down and resting can alleviate or eliminate the symptoms.
