Varicocele Homeopathic Treatment: Homeopathy Can Help Avoid Surgery

Enlargement of the veins within the scrotum (a sac that holds the testicles) refers to as varicocele. Varicocele is very similar to a varicose vein that appears in the leg. Males between the age group of 15 to 25 yrs are most affected by this condition. The reason behind varicocele is not apparent yet. However, it is thought to arise from a defect in the blood flow in the veins of the spermatic cord. This happens when the valves inside the veins of the spermatic cord (that allows one-way blood flow) don’t work effectively, preventing proper flow of blood in the right direction. This causes a backflow of blood causing the veins inside the scrotum to widen and enlarge.
