What is a Varicocele?
Varicocele is the condition when the scrotum’s veins become twisted or visibly enlarged. It is a common problem in men, where 15% of the entire population is suffering from it. This happens when the veins get damaged and lead to reflux of blood. Later the veins get swollen and inflamed. Varicocele may lead to infertility as well, so it needs to get treated as soon as possible.
- Lump like formation in the scrotum

Diagnosis
To assess the severity of the condition, physical examination, blood test and other imaging test may be required. Tenderness of the testicles need to be examined which may follow by scrotal ultrasound for the detailed analysis of the scrotal veins. In addition, to check the fertility and hormones level, semen analysis may also be recommended.


Surgery
Percutaneous embolization- In this process a catheter is inserted through the groins and a solution is injected through it. This blocks the veins and damaged veins get collapsed. Following this, the normal blood circulation through the healthy veins continues.
Varicocelectomy – In this procedure, the damaged veins are closed through the laparoscope. It is done to prevent infertility.
