A common cause of male infertility
A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum—similar to a varicose vein in the leg—that can reduce sperm quality, lower testosterone, or cause discomfort.
What does this treatment do?
Varicocele treatment repairs these veins to restore healthy blood flow. This procedure can improve semen parameters, reduce scrotal pain, and support natural conception or assisted fertility treatments.
When to consider varicocele treatment
Men who:
Have an abnormal semen analysis
Are experiencing infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss
Have testicular discomfort or pain
Have elevated sperm DNA fragmentation
Are pursuing IUI or IVF and want to improve sperm quality to improve success rates
Have low testosterone levels due to testicular dysfunction
Would like to improve sperm quality to avoid the need for assisted reproduction
