What Is Varicocele?

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum — similar to varicose veins in the legs. These veins (the pampiniform venous plexus) carry oxygen-depleted blood away from the testicles. When they become enlarged, blood pools in the scrotum, raising testicular temperature and impairing sperm production and quality.

Varicoceles affect approximately 15% of all men and 40% of men investigated for infertility. They are most commonly found on the left side. SurgiKure treats varicocele with microsurgical varicocelectomy — the gold-standard technique with the highest success rate for fertility improvement and the lowest recurrence and complication rates.

Common Symptoms

Dull aching pain or heaviness in the testiclePain that worsens after prolonged standing or physical activityVisible or palpable twisted veins in the scrotum (like a bag of worms)Testicular atrophy (shrinkage) in affected sideLow sperm count or poor sperm motility on semen analysisMale infertility despite normal female investigations

Types & Grades

Grade 1 (Small)

Detectable only by Doppler ultrasound. Usually observed unless fertility is affected.

Grade 2 (Moderate)

Palpable without straining. Causes discomfort and may affect sperm quality. Treatment recommended.

Grade 3 (Large)

Visible through the scrotal skin without examination. Associated with significant discomfort, atrophy, and infertility. Surgery strongly recommended.

Treatment Options

1

Microsurgical Varicocelectomy

Gold standard. Under an operating microscope, dilated veins are precisely identified and ligated through a tiny sub-inguinal incision. Highest fertility improvement rate (60-80%), lowest recurrence (under 1%), and lowest complication rates.

2

Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy

The varicocele veins are treated through 3 tiny keyhole incisions under general anaesthesia. Good option for bilateral varicoceles. Effective and minimally invasive.

3

Percutaneous Embolisation

An interventional radiologist passes a catheter through a groin or neck vein to block the varicocele using coils or foam. No incision, local anaesthesia only. Good for recurrent varicoceles after surgery.

4

Watchful Waiting

For asymptomatic Grade 1 varicoceles without fertility concerns. Regular semen analysis and review are recommended.
