A varicocele is a group of enlarged veins around a testicle. It often causes no symptoms, but some people notice a heavy feeling, aching pain, a change in testicle size or difficulty having children. A clinician can confirm the cause and explain whether observation or treatment is sensible.

In short

Not every varicocele needs treatment.
Pain, testicle size change and an abnormal sperm test can change the discussion.
An examination is often the first step; an ultrasound may be useful in some situations.
