Diagnosis

Diagnosis is fairly simple through either physical or diagnostic examination. This condition is typical on left side of the scrotum, and tends to resemble “bag of worms"

When varicoceles are not clearly present, the abnormal blood flow can often be detected with a noninvasive imaging exam called color flow ultrasound or through a venogram - an X-ray in which a special dye is injected into the veins to "highlight" blood vessel abnormalities.
