A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins. They are common and often cause no symptoms but can affect fertility. An MRI may show enlarged venous structures in the pelvis or scrotum consistent with a varicocele. Finding a varicocele allows for assessment of its potential impact on fertility and consideration of treatment if needed. Ultrasound is generally the preferred tool for varicocele assessment, however MRI may show relevant pelvic venous changes.
