I had a right inguinal hernia 3 months ago and have been wearing tight supporters since then. Now, I have been diagnosed with bilateral varicocele. Does my hernia or tight supporters cause varicocele?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Varicoceles are believed to be caused by defective valves in the veins within the scrotum, just above the testicles. Normally, these valves regulate the flow of blood to and from the testicles. When normal flow doesn't occur, the blood backs up, causing the veins to dilate (enlarge). Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
