What is a Varicocele and What Does it Mean for Member Health? When a man is paying close attention to member health and attending to proper manhood care on a daily basis, he’s usually very quick to spot problems. In most cases, those problems are as simple as dry male organ skin or other easily-remedied issues – nothing that a little good member health crème can’t fix! But some issues are much more concerning and require more attention, such as developing a varicocele. What’s a varicocele? As every man knows, there are a lot of blood vessels that run through the male organ, sacks and surrounding areas. This rich blood flow allows for better member health and regular tumescence. A varicocele develops when the veins in the sacks widen and fill up with blood that doesn’t readily drain out as it should. This can result in a variety of problems, including long-term issues if a guy doesn’t visit a doctor as soon as he notices a varicocele. Varicoceles occur in about 25 percent of men and usually show up between the ages of 13 and 30. Though no one is certain of the cause, it seems that many men – up to 70 percent – have a defect in the veins that prevent them from allowing blood to drain as it should. Other factors might include obesity, wearing restrictive clothing, physical injury, swollen lymph nodes or having a high level of fat in the blood. Symptoms of a varicocele are hard to miss, as they come on rather quickly and become severe. These include enlarged veins in the sacks (usually easy to see), swelling, lumps in the sacks, shrinking sacks, and a deep, aching pain that makes a man’s pelvis feel “full” or “heavy.” Infertility can also be a symptom, though most men notice other symptoms well before they run into the problem of being unable to father children. What to do about it? A man who notices a varicocele should visit his doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will want to screen for any underlying issues with the blood www.man1health.com
