#nonsurgical #varicoceletreatment #embolization
Varicocele embolization is essentially closing off dysfunctional veins of the scrotum to allow normal veins to take over blood flow. The procedure has several positive attributes in convenience, including:
It takes about an hour to complete.
It is done on an outpatient basis by an interventional radiologist.
It involves only a small prick, so there is no incision, no scar, and a reduced risk of post-procedure complications.
The recovery time is typically 2 days, with patients generally able to resume sex in just 1 - 2 weeks.
Pain from varicocele is often relieved immediately.
