Varicose Veins in the Scrotum
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Varicose veins in the scrotum, known as a varicocele, are dilations of the veins that drain the testicles, similar to the varicose veins that appear in the legs. It's a common condition and often produces no obvious discomfort.
Common symptoms: a sensation of heaviness or a lump in the scrotum, discomfort that can increase when standing for a prolonged time, and, at times, a complete absence of symptoms.
When to see a doctor? It's worth consulting if you notice a lump, pain, or changes in the scrotal area, or if you have concerns about fertility.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the appropriate professional to examine varicose veins in the scrotum and offer guidance on whether follow-up or additional studies are advisable.
