Answer
A varicocele happens because the tiny, one-way valves inside the veins of your scrotum stop working correctly. Think of these valves like doors that should only let blood flow in one direction—away from the testicles and back to the heart. When these valves become weak or faulty, they can't close properly, allowing blood to leak backward and pool in the veins. This pooling causes the veins to stretch and enlarge, creating the varicocele. This is particularly common on the left side due to the specific path the left testicular vein takes through your body, which makes it more susceptible to pressure buildup. It often develops during puberty when the testicles are growing quickly and require more blood flow, putting extra stress on these valves. Understanding this cause is the first step, and the specialists at SCI hospital can provide a detailed diagnosis.
