GOOD DIET FOR VARICOCELE TREATMENT

A varicocele (VAR-ih-koe-seel) is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles (scrotum). A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein you might see in your leg.

Normally varicocele will not produce any symptoms. Some of the peoples may experience dull pain, especially after prolonged standing or physical exertion and relieved after lying down . Varicocele is one of the reason for decreased sperm quantity.

Varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, which can cause infertility.
