Varicocele Treatment

Surgical correction of varicoceles to improve fertility and comfort

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins elsewhere in the body. It is the most common correctable cause of male infertility and can also cause a dull aching discomfort. Microsurgical repair reduces sperm-damaging heat and oxidative stress in the testes.

Varicocelectomy is performed through a small groin incision under local or general anaesthesia. Microsurgical technique minimises the risk of damage to surrounding structures and offers the best outcome in terms of fertility improvement.
