What is Varicocele? Should I Have Surgery?

Varicocele dilates the vessels around the testicle, causing the temperature of the testicle to rise and this increase in temperature may impair sperm function. Therefore, urologists can connect or remove these vessels with a small surgical intervention. Varicocele surgery should be performed only if it is severe, visible findings or can be detected by examination and if there are enough clinical symptoms to cause severe pain in men. Such conditions may also increase the chances of IVF treatment. However, it is a damaging method to consider as varicocele, which has no complaints, is unclear on examination or is not visible to the eye, and is only detected by ultrasound.
