Varicocele Surgery

  • About

  • About Varicocele

  • Varicocele is the condition (in males) in which pampiniform plexus (vein inside scrotum) becomes enlarged. Scrotum in the males, part of the reproductive system, is responsible for making, storing, and moving sperms. Scrotum holds the testicles which produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. The veins look like various veins twisted together and have been described as Looking like a "bag of worms". Varicoceles are almost always on the left side, but in rare cases, both sides can be affected.

  • Symptoms

  • Recurring pain in the scrotum

  • Infertility as a result of low sperm production

  • Swelling in the testicles (painless)

  • Presence of lump in either side of the testicles or both the side

  • A large and visible swollen vein in the scrotum

  • Causes

  • Though the exact cause of varicocele is still unknown, one possible explanation can be the prevention of blood flow in the veins (valves in the spermatic cord can prevent the blood flow). The lack of blood supply can damage the testicle and can cause low sperm production leading to infertility.

  • Diagnosis

  • Before beginning the treatment, it is essential to go through several tests and prognosis to better understand the problem and situation. This will let the doctor suggest the appropriate treatment for the condition.

  • First, the doctor takes a brief about the family history and the medical history of the patient.

  • Then, a general physical health examination where the doctor performs a simple physical examination of the scrotum to test lump or vein enlargement.

  • Scrotal Ultrasound: Scrotal Ultrasound gives an accurate and detailed picture of the Varicocele condition to the doctor.
