What is Varicocele? 

Varicocele is a dilation (enlargement) of the internal spermatic veins that drain the testicle. It is a very common condition present in 15% of the general male population and 40% of men evaluated for infertility. A varicocele develops because of defective valves that normally allow for blood to flow away from the testicle toward the abdomen. Testicular injury occurs due to abnormal back flow of blood from the abdomen into the scrotum and this creates a hostile environment for sperm development. The significance of this condition has been known for a thousand years. The first century Greek physician Celcius originally described the varicocele: The veins are swollen and twisted over the testicle, which becomes smaller than its fellow in as much as its nutrition has become defective.

Varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of the veins in the scrotum draining the testicles. The testicular blood vessels originate in the abdomen and course down through the inguinal canal as part of the spermatic cord on their way to the testis. Up-ward flow of blood in the veins is ensured by small one-way valves that prevent backflow. Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varico cele
