A member asked:

Have testicular varicocele on both sides. if secondary, what exactly could cause them? have may-thurner syndrome-possibility? what else can i look for

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is Harmless: You should not worry much about it. It is a harmless condition. The cause is unknown but it is nothing serious. Just try to ignore it unless it hurts or you have any fertility problems later on.
