A member asked:
Can a varicoscele be related to or cause any other health problems?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
"Varicoceles usually form during puberty and develop over time. They may cause some discomfort or pain, but they often result in no symptoms or complications. A varicocele may cause poor development of a testicle, low sperm production or other problems that may lead to infertility. Surgery to treat varicocele may be recommended to address these complications." Mayo Clinic
