A member asked:

Is there any health relates risks if you ignore your variococele? also does varicocele and testicular cancer have the same symptoms. thank you :)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sperm production: Varicocele may raise the temperature of the scrotum and affect sperm production. Sperm production requires lower temperature than usual body temperature. Testicular cancer does not have any specific symptoms other than a lump in the scrotum. It would be prudent to consult a doctor.
