This vein dilatation can start at a young age and progress under the influence of gravity. Varicocele is the most common and treatable cause of male infertility.<\/p>\n<p>At mild levels, there may be no clinical signs. It can progress over time and lead to swelling in the scrotum (the bag that surrounds the testicles), pain (in the groin that radiates to the inside of the leg), and impaired sperm count and movement.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6948cd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6948cd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is the Incidence of Varicocele?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-daa4daa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"daa4daa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Varicocele is generally seen in 15-20% of men after puberty (adolescence) and in approximately 40-50% of men presenting with infertility.<\/p>\n<p>The veins on the left side are connected at a steeper angle to the main vein into which the dirty blood flows, and the veins on the left side are slightly longer.
