Varioceles is a cluster of enlarged veins in the testes that accounts for 40% (or more) of all fertility problems – with these numbers being even higher among men suffering with secondary infertility (meaning that they have naturally fathered at least one child without intervention).
When varioceles occurs, blood that has clotted in the testes can heat the area to over 98.6 degrees, which is at least 1-2 degrees higher than they should be. This can cause serious damage (or even kill) sperm!
Usually only detected through a physical exam (varioceles makes the testes feel like a bag of worms), the disorder is treatable using a form of microsurgery, combined with herbal remedies to increase blood flow through the testes.
Varicocele surgery can improve sperm count and sperm quality. Testosterone levels may return to normal. Pain related to a varicocele may be improved. Pregnancy success rates after surgery range between 30 – 50%.
Normal sexual activity can be resumed within 1-2 weeks after varicocele embolization and 4 weeks after surgery. It can take approx 3 months to notice an improvement in sperm count and quality because it takes about 3 months for new sperm to develop.
