What are the alternative treatments if surgery is not an option?

#1 · 26 October 2024, 6:53 PM

For men who are not candidates for surgery or prefer a non-surgical approach, varicocele embolization is an effective alternative. Embolization is minimally invasive, requires only a small incision, and is often performed as an outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time.

Pain management through medications, supportive underwear, and lifestyle changes are additional methods to manage symptoms. For those focusing on fertility, fertility treatments like IUI or IVF may also be considered alongside varicocele management. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help determine the best approach based on individual health needs and goals.
