Specializes in Thoracic Surgery

See a urologist: It is possible that you may have a varicocele. In plain English varicose veins of the venous plexus of the scrotum. Most often on the left side. Treated primarily with surgery. You need treatment if you want to have kids, because the extra blood flow tends to increase the temperature and decrease sperm production. Testicles are outside the body in a sac because the temperature is lower.
