Varicocele Embolization

A varicocele is an enlarged vein in a man’s scrotum that may cause pain, swelling or infertility. Varicocele embolization uses imaging guidance and a catheter to place a tiny coil and/or embolic fluid in a blood vessel to divert blood flow away from a varicocele. It’s less invasive than conventional surgery, can safely relieve pain and swelling, and may improve sperm quality. Advantages compared with surgery: – No scar / Sutures – No Anesthesia – Day care procedure / No hospital admission required – Very less bleeding – Very less pain
