Frequently Asked Questions

A varicocele is characterized by the enlargement of veins within the scrotum, which can cause discomfort and affect fertility in some cases.

Varicocele surgery is recommended when the varicocele causes symptoms like pain, discomfort, testicular atrophy, or infertility issues and for medical fitness for recruitment purpose.

The two main types of varicocele surgery are open surgery (microscopic varicocelectomy) and minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic/ robotic varicocele ligation or percutaneous embolization.

In varicocelectomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the groin/ abdomen to access and ligate the enlarged veins. In embolization, a catheter is used to block the affected veins.

Varicocele surgery may improve fertility in some men by enhancing sperm parameters and increasing sperm count.

Varicocele surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis (daycare admission), allowing the patient to return home the same day.

Risks of varicocele surgery include infection, bleeding, recurrence, and damage to surrounding structures.

Varicocele surgery can improve fertility, but its success in achieving pregnancy may vary depending on individual factors like the severity of the varicocele and other infertility issues.

Varicocele surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.

Varicocele surgery is not reversible, as it involves permanently closing off or removing the affected veins.

Varicocele surgery can be performed on both sides simultaneously if bilateral varicoceles are present.

Varicocele surgery can be performed on adolescents, especially if the varicocele causes pain, testicular shrinkage, or impacts fertility.

Varicocele surgery can be combined with other infertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to improve the chances of conception.

Varicocele surgery is not known to cause sexual dysfunction. Successful treatment may improve sexual function if the varicocele has been causing discomfort.

Varicocele surgery can alleviate testicular pain in some cases, especially if the pain is associated with enlarged veins.

Varicocele surgery performed to treat an early-stage varicocele may help prevent or reverse testicular atrophy.

Varicocele surgery may be considered for pain relief alone if the varicocele is causing significant discomfort.

While rare, varicocele surgery may increase the risk of developing a hydrocele (accumulation of fluid around the testicle) in some cases.

Varicocele surgery is not typically performed for purely aesthetic reasons, as it addresses medical issues rather than cosmetic concerns.

Varicocele surgery is generally recommended for men with fertility issues caused by the varicocele. In men without fertility problems, the need for surgery is assessed on an individual basis.

In cases of recurrent varicoceles, repeat varicocele surgery or alternative treatments may be considered, depending on the specific situation and patient's preferences.
