DEVELOPMENT OF LEFT – SIDED VARICOCELE IN CHILDREN AGED 11-17 YEARS
Abstract
Varicocele, a condition characterized by abnormal dilation of veins in the scrotum, is a well-documented pathology in adult men. However, recent clinical observations point to an alarming trend: the development of left-sided varicocele in children aged 11 to 17 years. This phenomenon, once thought to be limited to the adult population, has caused a shift in focus towards understanding the underlying causes, progression, and potential long-term consequences in this younger age group.
