Microscopic Varicocelectomy: Pain Relief and Fertility BenefitsVaricocele
6 months ago
I often feel testicular varicocele pain, especially in the varicocele pain area, and I’m worried about varicocele and infertility. Can microscopic varicocelectomy help relieve pain and improve fertility? How effective is this surgery, and what should I expect in terms of recovery and long-term results?

As your doctor, I want to clarify that microscopic varicocelectomy is a highly effective treatment for both varicocele-related pain and fertility issues. By precisely ligating the enlarged veins while preserving arteries and lymphatics, this procedure relieves discomfort in most patients and can improve sperm quality and fertility outcomes, especially if sperm abnormalities are present.
The success rate for pain relief and fertility improvement is around 90–95%, with a very low recurrence risk. Recovery is typically 1–2 weeks for normal activities, with full healing in 4–6 weeks. Long-term results are generally excellent, with sustained symptom relief and improved sperm parameters in the majority of patients.
