Embrace the Journey to Wellness: Varicocele Surgery, Restoring Balance
Varicocele occurs with abnormal dilation of the veins, especially in the left testicle. Among the symptoms of varicocele, pain, especially in the area where the veins dilate, with a decrease in testicular size due to heat in progressive enlarged varicoceles, hormone deceleration and sexual erection, which we call erectile dysfunction, may occur. The most common effect is a decrease in sperm quality due to the release of toxic substances due to this increase in temperature and dilation of the blood vessels. This condition causes infertility.
Varicocele is a disease that is treated only by surgical methods, but if there is no deterioration in sperm quality, varicocele is only followed. The current standard of varicocele is varicocelectomy surgery performed by microsurgery.
Varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure to treat severe varicocele that is painful or affects fertility. A surgeon who specializes in disorders that affect the urinary and reproductive system cuts and seals the affected veins. This allows blood flow to other healthy veins in the scrotum.
Varicocele is typically diagnosed through a physical exam and imaging tests. During a physical exam, the healthcare provider will examine the scrotum and testicles while the patient is standing up and lying down. The provider will look for swelling, lumps, or other abnormalities in the scrotum and testicles.
Imaging tests, such as a scrotal ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound, may also be used to diagnose a varicocele. These tests use high-frequency sound waves to create images of the blood flow in the veins and can identify any abnormalities or blockages in the veins.
It is the most invasive of surgical approaches. The surgeon makes an incision in the groin and physically locates and ties the dysfunctional vein to prevent further blood flow.
Under general anesthesia, surgical instruments are inserted into the body through small incisions. Surgeons use special cameras to look inside the body, identify problem veins, and block further blood flow.
In addition to these surgeries, varicocele is treated with percutaneous embolization. This is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat a variety of conditions by blocking blood flow to certain areas of the body. It involves the insertion of a catheter through a small incision in the skin and guiding it to the target area using imaging guidance, such as X-ray or ultrasound.

Before varicocele surgery, your doctor will perform a physical examination to confirm the presence of the varicocele and assess its severity. Your doctor may also order imaging tests, such as a scrotal ultrasound, to get a better view of the affected area. In addition to these procedures, your doctor may also perform blood tests to check your hormone levels, as varicoceles can sometimes affect testosterone production. Before the surgery, you will likely be asked to avoid food and drink for several hours to prepare for the anesthesia.
After varicocele surgery, the affected veins in the scrotum should be repaired, and blood flow should return to normal. This can alleviate symptoms such as pain, discomfort, and infertility.
After the surgery, patients may experience some pain, swelling, or bruising in the scrotum, which typically subsides within a few days to a week. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for a few weeks after the procedure to allow for proper healing.
People can usually return to normal daily activities within 2-3 days. However, full recovery may take three weeks. There are several factors that cause recovery time after varicocelectomy to vary from person to person, including:
