Symptoms at a Glance

Could a varicocele be the cause of your symptoms?​

Common signs include:​

  • ​Dull, aching testicular or scrotal pain that worsens with standing or activity.
  • Feeling of heaviness or “dragging” in the scrotum, often on the left side.
  • Visible or palpable “bag of worms” veins above the testicle.
  • Scrotal swelling or fullness that improves when lying down.
  • Low sperm count, abnormal semen analysis, or unexplained male infertility.
  • Decreased testicular size or a noticeable size difference between sides.

If these symptoms sound familiar, a targeted evaluation for varicocele and other causes of scrotal pain or infertility may be appropriate.​

Why Consider Varicocele Embolization?

Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive, image‑guided procedure that blocks abnormal veins causing back‑flow of blood in the scrotum.​

Benefits typically include:​

  • Outpatient visit with local anesthesia and sedation, not general anesthesia.
  • No scrotal or groin incision; access is usually through a tiny puncture in the neck or groin vein.
  • Less post‑procedure pain than open surgery for many patients.
  • Rapid return to daily activities, often within a few days.
  • Preservation of testicle and potential improvement in sperm parameters in appropriate candidates.

How the Process Works

How the Process Works
1: Consultation and imaging 2: Personalized treatment plan 3: Minimally invasive procedure 4: Recovery and results
Review symptoms, fertility history, and prior testing.​ Discuss observation, surgery, or embolization options based on your goals.​ Same‑day embolization in an outpatient or office‑based lab.​ Most men return to light activity within 24–72 hours and to full activity within about a week, unless advised otherwise.​
Order ultrasound or other imaging to evaluate veins and testicles.​ Coordinate with your urologist or fertility clinic when needed.​ Tiny catheter guided under X‑ray to the gonadal vein; abnormal veins are sealed with coils or other agents.​ Follow‑up includes pain assessment and, when relevant, repeat semen analyses over several months.​
