Varicocele

Persistent discomfort in the testicles that doesn’t improve with basic treatments? Varicocele—an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum—can cause pain, impact testicle size, reduce sperm production, and even affect fertility.

At Costamed Medical Group, we understand the importance of your well-being.

Varicocele surgery, or varicocelectomy, may be the solution that restores balance and comfort to your life.

What Is a Varicocele and Why Consider Surgery?

A varicocele occurs when blood doesn’t flow properly through the veins in the scrotum, causing them to enlarge.
This blood pooling can result in pain, uneven testicular development, lower sperm production, and—in more serious cases—fertility issues.

When discomfort, delayed testicular growth, or fertility problems aren’t resolved with conservative approaches, varicocele surgery can offer significant relief and a meaningful improvement in quality of life.

What Does the Surgery Involve?

Varicocelectomy is performed through a small incision in the abdomen or groin.

The surgeon identifies the affected veins and seals or ties them off, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins.

This eliminates blood stagnation, relieving pain and improving testicular function.

Benefits of Varicocele Surgery

• Relief from testicular pain: Many patients report noticeable pain reduction and regained comfort and mobility.
• Improved testicular development: In teens, delayed testicle growth can normalize; in adults, it helps prevent testicular atrophy.
• Fertility enhancement: The procedure can improve sperm quality, increasing the chances of natural conception.
• Quick recovery: Usually an outpatient procedure, with most patients resuming daily activities shortly after.
• Future complication prevention: Treating varicocele helps avoid long-term issues like ongoing testicular damage.

When to Consider Surgery

• Persistent pain: If discomfort doesn’t improve with support garments, painkillers, or other simple treatments.
• Fertility concerns: If sperm quality and conception potential are affected.
• Delayed testicular growth: When one testicle is significantly smaller or growing more slowly.
• Ongoing discomfort: If varicocele is disrupting your daily routine and overall well-being.
