| If treatment is needed to improve fertility, a varicocele can be treated with an operation, where the veins are tied off. |
| If they occur within the scrotal sac in the region of the testes, they are called varicocele. |
| Other benign conditions resulting in a scrotal mass, such as testicular torsion, spermatocele, varicocele, or tuberculosis, must be ruled out. |
| As for the right varicocele, which never developed, it could be treated in the same way as the left. |
| But when data from seven previously published trials were reanalysed, varicocele treatment seemed to have little effect on fertility. |
| Scrotal ultrasonography is helpful in confirming a varicocele or testicular tumour. |
