Varicocele
A varicocele consists of the dilation of the veins of the spermatic cord, within the scrotum, similar to the varicose veins that appear in the legs. It's a relatively common condition in young men.
Common symptoms: Many men have no discomfort. When there is some, you may notice a sensation of heaviness or a lump in the scrotum that becomes more evident when standing or after physical exertion.
Why it's worth checking? In some cases it's associated with changes in fertility, so evaluating it helps to understand the overall picture for each person.
Who assesses it? The urologist is the appropriate professional to examine it; the general practitioner can guide the initial consultation and, in minors, the pediatrician usually takes part. If you notice any of these changes, it's worth discussing it with a urologist you trust.
