VARICOCELE TREATMENT
Varicocele Surgery at Ashven Health
Specialized varicocele surgery designed to relieve symptoms, support fertility, and promote overall testicular well-being.
What is Varicocele?
A varicocele occurs when valves inside the veins of the scrotum fail, leading to blood pooling and vein enlargement. It often develops during puberty and may worsen over time. While some varicoceles are symptomless, others cause discomfort, fertility problems, or testicular shrinkage, making timely treatment essential.
When is Varicocele Treatment Recommended?
Medical Reasons
- Infertility or low sperm count
- Pain or heaviness in the testicles
- Testicular atrophy (shrinkage)
- Scrotal swelling or visible enlarged veins
Severe Condition
- Severe discomfort interfering with daily life
- Long-standing infertility due to poor sperm quality
- Large varicocele visible or palpable in the scrotum
- Risk of progressive testicular damage
Varicocele Symptoms
