Varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of one or more veins in the scrotum. A doctor can diagnose varicoceles through a pelvic ultrasound, manual inspection, scrotal Doppler examination, or a blood test.

Treatment

Medications

Medications can’t treat Varicocele, but they might help alleviate some of its symptoms. One such medicine is Clomiphene citrate (Clomid). Other medicines that are prescribed to relieve the pain are Acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Surgical

Surgeries for Varicocele repair in Mumbai are typically performed on male patients with a history of infertility or poor sperm quality. Given below are two surgical procedures commonly used to treat Varicocele:

Microscopic Varicocelectomy

A microscopic varicocelectomy is a procedure that involves removing the veins from the spermatic cord through tiny incisions made by microsurgery. This surgery aims to decrease the pressure in the testes, improve sperm quality, and relieve pain.

Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy

Laparoscopic is one of the most common surgeries performed for Varicocele repair in Mumbai. It is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions to operate on the abdomen or pelvis. The surgeon can work with both hands, and the operating table is typically positioned in front of them.\

Non-Surgical

Varicocele Embolization

Embolization is yet another treatment technique to treat Varicocele. It is the process of injecting a substance into one or both testicles to block out the veins that carry blood away from them. The treatment involves threading a wire through the vessels and into the scrotum, inflating until they are blocked.

Prevention

Given below are some precautions that should be taken to prevent Varicocele:

• Increasing the amount of time you spend exercising, 
• Wearing loose-fitting clothes that allow for circulation, and 
• Sleeping on your back or side.
