VARICOCELE.
VARICOSE TESTICLE, OR VARICOCELE.
A very Common Disease Amongst Men and Boys, and one that has a very serious effect In Weakening the Sexual Powers, causing Emissions and Losses, and Preventing a Thorough and Permanent Cure of these Complaints.
Varicocele (from the Greek, pronounced Var-i-ko-seal, accent on either Var or seal) is a condition of bagging, bunching, bulging or twisting of the veins in the scrotum (bag or testicle sac.) It is most commonly found on the left side of the bag, but sometimes is to be seen on both sides. Usually the scrotum is bulged out on the side and sometimes hangs very low, so long and twisted are the veins. To the touch the veins feel like a bunch of angle-worms. In some cases they can be seen knotted and swollen through the thin skin of the bag.
All our doctors are Regular Graduates, and their Diplomas are Registered in the Office of the County Clerk, City Hall, New York, as required by Law.

On the right side, the drawing of the instrument is cut away, also the layers of skin and muscle, showing the dilated and knotty veins in the groin, before they reach the scrotum, also the Bell Pad in dotted outline, showing how and where the pressure is properly exerted. When the veins in the groin are thus affected, we have what is known as Varicocele of the Cord. On the left side, the Cradle and Compressor is shown in place. |
