Varicocele treatments for improved fertility and comfort

What is Varicocele ?

Varicocele is a condition where the veins in your scrotum enlarge and expand. It resembles a varicose vein in your leg in many ways. It can seem like a worm-filled bag.

Most frequently the left testicle, it typically appears over one of your testicles. It is typically visible when you are standing up but not when you are lying down.

Although it should be safe, it could be inconvenient or painful. Moreover, it could impair your fertility or induce the shrinkage of your testicles.

It typically affects young guys and is a rather common disorder. One in ten to one in fifteen males experience this issue. As boys transition through adolescence, varicoceles are not uncommon.

A 1-inch cut into your scrotum will be made by the doctor during a varicocelectomy. To better see tiny veins, they'll utilize a microscope or magnifying lens. A local anesthetic may be used to numb the area, or general anesthesia may be required to keep you asleep during the treatment.

Laparoscopic surgery: With this procedure, the doctor makes a much smaller incision and inserts tubes containing surgical instruments and a special camera to help them look inside of you. You'll receive general anesthetic so you can zzz during the procedure.

Because the cuts are minor, the outcomes of both therapies are comparable. Although uncommon, you might observe:

• The varicocele either persists or reappears.
• A testicular fluid
• You experience testicular artery damage.
