A minimally invasive image-guided treatment for enlarged scrotal veins, helping relieve discomfort and improve fertility-related concerns.
Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat enlarged veins in the scrotum that may cause pain, heaviness, swelling, or fertility-related problems.
During the procedure, a thin catheter is guided through a small puncture into the affected vein. Tiny coils or embolic agents are placed to block abnormal blood flow and redirect circulation through healthy veins.
No large surgical incision required.
Precise catheter placement under imaging.
Comfortable recovery compared to surgery.
Return to routine activities sooner.
Helps relieve dull aching pain or discomfort caused by enlarged scrotal veins.
Reduces symptoms of heaviness, dragging sensation, or swelling in the scrotum.
May help selected patients with fertility concerns related to varicocele.
Blocks refluxing veins and redirects blood flow through normal healthy veins.
Can be considered in patients with persistent or recurrent varicocele symptoms.
Suitable for selected patients seeking treatment without open surgical repair.
Varicocele embolization is performed using catheter-based techniques under advanced imaging guidance. The abnormal vein is carefully blocked, helping reduce pressure, discomfort, and varicocele-related symptoms without open surgery.
