What is Varicocele?

Varicocele is a medical condition characterised by the enlargement of veins within the scrotum, which can affect blood flow and potentially lead to infertility. If not addressed, varicocele may cause persistent discomfort and various complications.

Identify the Signs of Varicocele

Enlarged veins in the scrotum

A noticeable lump or bulge in the scrotum

Dull or sharp pain in the scrotum

A sensation of heaviness or dragging in the scrotum

Testicular shrinkage

Understand the Causes of Varicoceles

A varicocele refers to the enlargement of veins within the scrotum. While the precise cause of varicoceles is not entirely clear, it is thought to arise from malfunctioning valves in the spermatic veins. This dysfunction can lead to blood pooling in the veins, resulting in their enlargement and the formation of a varicocele. Other possible causes include

Genetics

Anatomical abnormalities

Increased pressure in the abdomen

Different Types Of Varicoceles

Grade 1 Varicocele

A grade 1 varicocele is the mildest form and is usually not visible or felt during an examination. It can only be identified through imaging tests like ultrasounds. While it typically doesn’t require treatment, it’s essential to keep an eye on it, as it may worsen over time. If it starts causing pain or affecting fertility, you can discuss treatment options with your doctor.

Grade 2 varicocele

A grade 2 varicocele is more noticeable and can be felt during a physical examination. The veins in the scrotum are larger and more twisted compared to grade 1, and they may cause some discomfort or pain. Although treatment isn't always necessary, it can impact fertility in certain cases.

Grade 3 varicocele

A grade 3 varicocele is the most severe type, featuring large, twisted veins that are easily seen and felt. It can lead to significant pain and discomfort and may affect fertility. Treatment options typically include surgical procedures or minimally invasive techniques, such as embolization, which redirects blood flow away from the affected veins.

Our Experts Explain

How Can Varicocele Be Prevented?

Currently, there is no sure way to prevent varicoceles, as they typically develop due to genetic factors and lifestyle choices beyond our control. However, you can take certain measures to lower your risk of developing a varicocele or to ease symptoms

Wear Supportive Underwear: Opt for briefs or compression shorts to provide better support to the scrotum and enhance blood circulation.
Avoid Pressure: Steer clear of activities that put pressure on the scrotum, such as sitting for long periods, heavy lifting, or cycling.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Keep a healthy weight and exercise regularly to promote good blood flow.
Treat Underlying Conditions: Address any health issues that may contribute to varicocele development, such as high blood pressure or kidney problems.

Types of Varicocele Surgery

Recommendations after Varicocele Surgery

Surgery is often recommended for varicocele, which occurs when the veins in the scrotum become enlarged and twisted. Here are the common types of surgery

Varicocelectomy: This is the standard surgery for varicocele. It’s an outpatient procedure that involves making a small cut in the groin or abdomen to remove the affected veins.
Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy: This minimally invasive procedure uses a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) to access and tie off the affected veins. It requires general anaesthesia and usually has a quicker recovery than open surgery.
Percutaneous Embolization: This is a minimally invasive technique where a catheter is inserted through a vein in the groin or neck into the affected vein. The doctor uses a small coil or material to block the vein and redirect blood flow.
Microsurgical Subinguinal Varicocelectomy: This precise surgery uses a microscope and special instruments to remove the affected veins. It's recommended when other surgeries have not worked and has a high success rate with low risk of complications.

Recommendations after Varicocele Surgery

After surgery for varicocele, follow these key steps to support healing and avoid complications

Rest: Make sure to get plenty of rest.
Avoid Strenuous Activities: Stay away from heavy lifting and intense exercise.
Keep the Area Dry: Maintain dryness around the surgical site.
Wear Supportive Underwear: Use supportive undergarments to aid recovery.
Follow Medication Guidelines: Take any medications prescribed by your doctor.

Regular follow-up visits with Mykare Health will help monitor your recovery and address any issues. It’s essential to ask questions and follow medical advice for a smooth recovery. Most patients can expect to fully recover within a few weeks after the surgery with proper care.

I was advised by my physician for a circumcision for hygienic reasons as well as certain urinary problems. I found out about Mykare Health from Instagram and at first I was a bit sceptical about approaching them as I have never before availed such consultancy services, especially for a medical purpose. Anyway, with a lot of reservations in mind, I decided to take the help of Mykare Health Team. From day one including scheduling the surgery, processing the insurance related paperworks, doctor's appointments etc to the day I got discharged, as well as the follow-up medical checkups later, I have to say the whole experience was totally overwhelming. Mykare representative Ms. Greashma did a commendable job in walking me through the entire journey and, at times, she even went above and beyond her call of duty to address our concerns in a very professional manner and thankfully the entire process was smooth and hassle-free, thanks to her unwavering commitment to the task at hand. Thank you Mykare Health Team for the amazing experience. Keep this going. Kudos. 👍
