Most Advanced Varicocele Treatment in Gurgaon

Varicocele and varicose veins are two different conditions with the similar root cause. Varicocele is the enlargement of veins within the scrotum [loose bag that holds the testicle]. Varicose veins are twisted and swollen veins just under the skin of the leg. Other than the cause, there are no similarities between these conditions.

In most cases, varicoceles occur on the left side of the scrotum. This is because of the anatomy of the male body. The blood flow to the left side is greater than the right side. So, this increases the chances of varicoceles more often in the left testicle than in the right.

Yes, varicocele can cause low testosterone levels. This can occur when the testis doesn’t function properly due to the enlarged veins in the scrotum.

Erectile dysfunction is not necessarily caused by varicocele. Most men with varicocele become self-conscious about the condition due to which their mental health is affected. And the poor mental state can lead to erectile dysfunction.

Varicoceles can cause infertility if the enlarged vein start compressing the spermatic cord. This can lead to low sperm production and decrease the sperm quality.

In 15-20% of males who suffer from varicocele, the condition resolves on its own. However, in the rest 80%, surgical treatment is required to resolve varicocele.

Varicocele can be cured in different ways. One of the best ways among them is microscopic varicocelectomy. It significantly improves sperm quality, reduces hospital stay, and lowers the chance of post-surgical risks.
