Dear guys, check if you have #varicoceles

1. Usually in your left scrotum
2. Feels like a "bag of worms"
3. May disappear when you lie down
4. Can cause severe pain
It's a common cause of infertility in men which can be corrected with surgery.

RT for awareness
#Varicocele is an enlargement of the veins inside the scrotum. It affects about 15% of adult men.

It may occur due to poorly functioning valves normally found in the veins.

Or due to compression of a vein by a nearby structure such as tumor or cancer of the left kidney.
People with #varicoceles may have:

• A noticeable swollen vein in the scrotum (as shown in this pic)
• A disturbing feeling of weight in the scrotum
• Pain in the scrotum which increases on standing, &
• Shrinking of the testicles

Sometimes, none of these symptoms occur.
