Varicoceles can recur, though modern surgical techniques have reduced the likelihood significantly. Recurrence rates vary, with around 10-15% of varicoceles returning after traditional surgical repair and slightly lower rates for embolization.

Recurrence usually happens due to incomplete closure of the affected veins or the formation of new dilated veins over time. However, if a varicocele does recur, follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential for management.

Re-treatment options are available, and patients are generally encouraged to have periodic check-ups to monitor the condition and catch any issues early.
