varicocele explained

Taken a good look at your testicles lately? Perhaps you've noticed that the picture isn't quite as symmetrical as it might be. True, just about everybody tends to be a bit lopsided, but a notable imbalance in the size and heft of your testicles may indicate a potentially dangerous condition: varicocele. The cause has to do with the veins that carry blood away from the testicle; when the veins are damaged and circulation is impeded, chemical balances change and your ability to produce healthy sperm is put at risk. This site does an excellent job of explaining the details of this condition, how it is diagnosed and treated, and good news: that with treatment, patients stand an excellent chance of regaining and maintaing fertility.
