Varicose veins aren’t just for legs – Obstructed vessels and low sperm parameters
The male reproductive organs are dependent upon blood circulation to control temperature in the testicles and to bring nutrients for the production of sperm (spermatogenesis). For optimal sperm production and normal testis function, the testis require an environment that is approximately 2.5 degrees celcius cooler than normal body temperature.
An obstruction to the scrotal veins is called a varicocele. They are present in approximately 15% of the normal male population.
