VARICOCELE
Varicocele can be defined as the enlargement of the veins located under the skin of the scrotum. To put it simply, it is similar to the varicose veins that form in your legs.
It can reduce sperm production and sperm quality, and therefore cause infertility. When we consider the harms of varicocele, perhaps the most important answer is that it can cause infertility.
Patients often wonder about varicocele treatment and how it is carried out. Varicocele treatment methods have made important progress in light of the latest developments in medicine.
The main treatment methods for varicocele are:
- Open surgery
- Laparoscopic surgery (operations performed with a camera through a few small incisions in the abdominal skin)
- Percutaneous embolization: a method in which the enlarged vein is closed by accessing the vein through the skin.
