Årebrokk - varikocele

Årebrokk eller varikocele er åreknuter i en samling små vener i pungen eller utvidelse av en større vene som utgår fra testiklene. Tilstanden behandles kun dersom du er mye plaget eller har nedsatt fertilitet.

Blant ikke-befruktningsdyktige (infertile) menn er årebrokk den vanligste årsaken til nedsatt spermieproduksjon og dårlig sædkvalitet.
