In some cases, the veins coming from the testicle get widened or dilated. The cause of this is a problem with the valves controlling the flow of blood from the testicles to the body. This is known as varicocele. It may affect the fertility of a man and also cause pain. The best sexologist in Kolkata can help you in getting rid of this condition. You have to undergo some diagnostic tests before treatment.

A physical exam is a primary diagnostic method during which the doctor feels the spermatic cord. The feeling of a varicocele is like a bag of worms in the scrotal sac. The normal testicle may be bigger than the testicle with varicocele. An ultrasound test may be sometimes done by the doctor. This procedure is also known as sonography or ultrasonography. Through the tissues, a machine transmits high-frequency sound waves in this procedure. The doctor can get videos or photographs of the inside of your body with the help of the recorded echoes. If a man with varicocele is concerned about his fertility, the doctor may recommend semen tests and blood tests.
