Varicoceles

If your son has varicoceles, a swelling of the veins in the scrotum, he will be referred to a pediatric urologist. A varicocele usually affects boys during puberty (around age 15) and since Nemours Children's pediatric urologists are specially trained and only treat children, we have lots of experience with conditions that affect developing boys. Our teams are here to offer your teen a sensitive approach for this type of care.
