(MENAFN- Straits Research) This can be referred to as a disease that occurs in males characterized by an abnormal enlargement of the scrotum (this is a bag-like structure that usually carries testes in various males; both humans and some mammals). This swelling of scrotum is mainly due to the pampiniform venous plexus enlarging more than its normal size.
What is pampiniform venous plexus? This is a network of veins that are related to the scrotum. When the dilation of these testicular veins occurs, then varicocele is automatically the nest thing. Dilation of these veins could be caused by defective valves or when the veins are compressed.
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Varicocele?
As noted before, Varicocele rare occurs on the right side because the right testicular vein usually drains directly into vena cava which is an inferior vein compared to the renal vein on the left side. Nevertheless, whether, the disease occurred on the left or on the right side, it displays similar signs and symptoms.
Some of these symptoms include:
Vein Enlargement – this is a major sign that is usually seen or felt with fingers. The vein around the testis which is in the scrotum usually gets enlarged. This doesn't require any testing to know, it can be easily observed with touching.
Scrotum swelling – this is the lump that occurs around the testis in the scrotum. The lump usually forms when there is a backflow of blood back to the testicles causing stagnancy of the blood in the scrotum. With time, there is swelling which can be clearly seen or felt
Testicle heaviness – when this lump and enlargement occurs, you feel heavy in your testicles and you become uncomfortable. Don't ignore the heaviness, it could be a sign that varicocele is developing.
Hormone alteration – there is a drastic change in the level of testosterone hormone that is produced by your reproductive system. This is the hormone that enables the development of masculine features like beards, muscles, and deep voice among others.
Prostate gland enlargement – the prostate gland in men is usually found at the bottom of the urinary bladder. This gland usually gets enlarged when varicocele is in you. This enlargement of the prostate gland is known as the Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH)
Painful scrotum – the victim of this disease usually have pains around and in the scrotum and testis. These pains may be very sharp in some people while in others it is dull. The victims experience dragging-like pain in the testicles.
Urinary problems – when the prostate gland enlarges, it compresses the urinary bladder which makes it hard to urinate properly. This makes the victim have frequent need to urinate and usually some drops of urine are always left after every passing out.
Testicle shrinking – if both testicles are affected, they tend to shrink abnormally. There is the normal shrinking that usually happens to the testicles when it is very hot. When you see one testicle especially the one on the left side, then that could be a sign that you're suffering from varicocele. This condition of the shrinking of the testicle(s) is referred to as Atrophy.
Low sperm production – since testes are responsible for the production of sperm, their levels tend to decrease because of the unfavorable condition brought about by the stagnant blood in the scrotum.
Lower abdominal pains – the pains in the testis and scrotum sometimes is felt in the lower abdomen. Besides, when there is inflammation in the urinary bladder, you can feel the pains in the abdomen.
Higher testes temperature – the malfunctioning of the network of veins around the testes disables the major function of the veins which is giving a cooling effect to the testis. Varicocele makes the veins dysfunctional.
It is worth noting that there is secondary varicocele which usually occurs when the venous drainage in the testicle is compressed. Besides, when there is an abdominal or pelvic malignancy, the secondary varicocele can easily occur. Nutcracker syndrome which creates pressure on the pampiniform plexus is another cause of this disease. However, renal cell carcinoma and retroperitoneal fibrosis are the major causes of secondary varicocele.
Nutcracker syndrome usually causes the mesenteric artery to compress the renal vein in the left which results in a pressure build-up in the vein networks. Irrespective of the development stage of varicocele, you are likely going to have the above signs and symptoms.
