Can Grade 2 Right Varicocele Affect Fertility?Varicocele
3 months ago
I have the symptoms of a right varicocele, and my ultrasound shows a varicocele grade 2. Are they similar? Or has my condition worsened? I’m concerned about varicocele and infertility. Can it be managed with varicocele tablets or other varicocele treatment without surgery? How effective is varicocele embolization, and what is its success rate compared to surgery?

As a doctor, I want to clarify your concerns. A right varicocele refers to enlarged veins in the scrotum, and grade 2 simply describes the moderate size, which is easily palpable. It does not necessarily mean your condition has worsened. Grading of varicocele is based on physical examination and ultrasound findings. Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the abnormal veins. It effectively works towards reducing the symptoms and improving the sperm quality with a high success rate. Also, the procedure usually has a faster recovery than open surgery, making it an effective alternative for appropriate patients.
