#Varicocele is a swelling of the testis veins. It's a major cause of low sperm count & infertility in men.
Sperm cells are very fragile & varicoceles create abnormal temperature inside the testis which might kill some sperm or reduce their quality, leading to infertility.

This pain may get worse after exercise or at the end of the day.
If you have this feeling, please see your doctor.
