What Is Varicocele Embolization?
Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgeries, offering faster recovery time, fewer incisions, and reduced risk of complications. Varicocele mostly affects men who are 15-35 years of age, and it is also one of the common yet overlooked causes of male infertility. It occurs when there is improper functioning of the valves, allowing blood to pool and causing the veins to stretch and swell, similar to varicose veins in the legs.
Varicocele embolization is a safe and effective procedure done to treat the varicocele by blocking blood flow to the affected veins with no large incisions, and it is performed by an interventional radiologist. Symptoms associated with the condition, varicocele, including scrotal pain, a feeling of heaviness, and testicular shrinkage, can be easily alleviated with varicocele embolization.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Varicocele Embolization?
Anyone having symptoms of varicocele is considered a good candidate for varicocele embolization. However, men who are dealing with pain in the scrotum while standing or performing activities, swelling, decreased sperm count & sperm function, and shrinkage of the testicle. It is also performed when an individual is dealing with male infertility with no other clear causes and is looking for a less invasive and low-risk alternative for the treatment.
Varicocele Embolization : How to prepare?
To prepare for the varicocele embolization, you have to follow certain steps before undergoing the procedure. You will have a detailed consultation with your healthcare provider in which you can discuss your concerns and queries with them.
- You have to inform your doctor about the medicines you take
- You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for some time before the process
- Wear comfortable clothing on the day of the procedure
- Undergo pre-operative tests or imaging scans to ensure you are fit for the procedure
What Happens During The Procedure?
Varicocele embolization is an image-guided, minimally invasive procedure performed by a trained interventional radiologist. This is an outpatient procedure performed under local anaesthesia. Once you are prepared, you have to lie on the procedure table.
The radiologist will clean and numb the area and make a small puncture to access the veins. A thin tube known as a catheter is inserted and guided to the affected vein with the use of X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy). Once in place, your healthcare provider releases a small coil or a special medical-grade (sclerosant) liquid into the affected vein, which blocks the abnormal blood flow and redirects it to the healthy surrounding veins.
