Male Infertility Treatment Caused by Complex Varicocele
Varicocele is a common vascular condition that affects male fertility. It occurs when the veins within the scrotum become enlarged, leading to impaired blood flow, increased testicular temperature, and reduced sperm production.
Catheter-based varicocele treatment offers a modern, minimally invasive alternative to surgery. By correcting abnormal venous circulation, the procedure helps restore a healthier environment for the testes, improving sperm quality and increasing the chances of natural conception.
How Male Infertility Treatment Caused by Complex Varicocele Works
A thin catheter is inserted through a small puncture in the groin and carefully guided to the enlarged testicular veins.
Using specialized embolization materials, these abnormal veins are safely sealed. Blood flow is redirected to healthy veins, relieving pressure and improving oxygenation of the testicular tissue. Over time, this leads to improved sperm production, count, and motility.
