  1. Varicocele Embolization

  2. What is Varicocele Embolization? Varicocele Embolization is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment performed by an Interventional Radiologist. It blocks the faulty veins causing the varicocele so blood flow reroutes to healthier veins.

  3. How the Procedure Works A small catheter is inserted through a vein in the groin or neck. Under X-ray guidance, the doctor reaches the testicular vein. The abnormal veins are sealed using: Coils Medical glue Sclerosing agents (medicine that closes veins) Blood flow is redirected, and pressure on the varicocele reduces.

  4. Benefits of Varicocele Embolization No surgical incision Done under local anesthesia Quick recovery (back to routine in 1–2 days) Less pain than surgery Very low complication risk High success rate for pain and fertility improvement

  5. Who Should Consider It? Persistent scrotal pain Varicocele-related infertility Low sperm count or motility Visible or enlarged scrotal veins Failed previous surgery

  6. Recovery After Embolization Most men go home the same day Mild discomfort for 1–2 days Avoid heavy exercise for 1 week Sperm quality improves in 3–6 months (if done for fertility)
