How can Varicocele cause infertility?
Whether Varicoceles actually cause infertility is still in question. Some claim that engorged blood in the veins can lead to high temperatures that damage sperm. Sperms are very fragile and cannot tolerate high temperatures. All this is just speculation. During sexual intercourse, the banging and thrusting of the penis in the vagina leads to even higher temperatures, but sperms do just fine. So all this temperature theory
is a load of bull.
What other problems are associated with a varicocele?
The occasional individual with a Varicocele may have small testes. However, this is not a universal finding and it is meaningless. There is not a single study, which has shown a relationship between Varicoceles and small testes- it is believed to be a coincidental finding.
Why do some individuals develop Varicoceles suddenly?
Sometimes a sudden swelling may appear in the scrotum and this is most common on the left side. Usually sudden appearance of a Varicocele happens in elderly individuals and a cancer or a mass somewhere in the abdomen may be a reason. A CT scan will immediately determine if this is the case
