      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: We made 146 cards and write letter I on 73 for intervention and on the other 73 letter C for the Control group. Then put them inside the envelope with aluminum wrap and put in a box. At the time of patient arrival, one of the envelopes randomly will be selected and open it, based on selected letter ( I or C) patients will be assigned to intervention (varicocelectomy with inguinal herniorrhaphy) or control (varicocelectomy without inguinal herniorrhaphy) group, Blinding description: Due to the fact that the patient is under spinal anesthesia during the operation, he will not notice the type of intervention. Also, the person who evaluates the outcome of scrotal pain will be unaware of whether or not inguinal herniorrhaphy was performed during varicocelectomy, so the study will be double blinded .</study_design>
