A member asked:

Will a doctor allow you to play sports if you have a varicocele?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There is no medical reason to restrict sports because of scrotal varicose veins (varicocele). Treatment is only recommended for progressive scrotal pain or to improve reduced fertility
