Varicocele Treatment

Decreased Testicular Function due to Varicose Veins

The scrotal varicocele is a well-recognized cause of decreased testicular function and is present in about 40% of infertile males and up to 80% of DI. A varicose vein disorder can be a cause of male infertility but is fortunately, also the most surgically correctable. Once a varicocele is diagnosed, a medical history will be analyzed, the anatomy and function of the varicocele will be explained, along with the possible methods of surgical repair.
