What is Varicocele Embolization?

Varicocele embolization is a type of medical procedure. It diverts blood away from an enlarged vein in your scrotum. Such a vein is called a varicocele. It can cause pain, infertility, and swelling. A radiologist uses a coil or special agents to block (or embolize) the vein.

Who Is a Candidate for Varicocele Embolization?

If you prefer a minimally invasive treatment option, speak with your doctor about varicocele embolization, you may be a candidate for varicocele embolization if you are an adult male and have been diagnosed with a varicocele that is causing you testicular pain, discomfort or infertility. Make sure to discuss all varicocele treatment options with your general practitioner or family physician.

Benefits of Varicocele Embolization

Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that:

Requires NO general anesthesia (only local anesthesia)
Results in NO scarring
Requires NO overnight stay (same-day procedure)

With varicocele embolization, you can expect:

Success rates of 90%, similar to surgical techniques
Quicker recovery time; days vs. weeks as compared to open surgery
Reduced risk of infection
Ease in  making scheduled appointments at an outpatient center
A same day procedure, allowing you to recover at home

  • Your medical history

  • Any past problems with drug allergies or contrast dye

  • You’ll likely first be given medicine to make you relaxed and sleepy.

  • Your medical team will carefully watch your heart rate and blood pressure.

  • You will receive a shot of numbing medicine into an area on the inner portion of your upper thigh. You may feel a small prick. The shot will stop you from feeling much during the procedure.
