Varicocele embolization is a non-invasive endovascular procedure that’s done to treat varicoceles, which are similar to varicose veins. Varicoceles are located in the loose bag of skin that holds the testicles, also known as the scrotum. The embolization procedure directs blood flow away from the enlarged veins to reduce swelling and discomfort.

What Are the Symptoms of Varicose Veins in Testicles?

When a vein in your scrotum becomes enlarged, it may or may not cause symptoms. While side effects can be very uncomfortable, it’s wise to rely on a vein specialist because if left untreated, these enlarged veins can cause serious consequences. Symptoms commonly associated with varicose veins in testicles include:

A swollen testicle on one side, most often the left

A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum

Discomfort that may not be as bad when lying on your back

Pain that gets worse over the course of the day, while standing or during other types of physical exertion

Veins in your scrotum appear enlarged or twisted

Fertility problems

There’s no varicocele cure or method of prevention, but if the varicocele isn’t serious enough for embolization or surgery, supportive underwear may help. Dr. Bolotin may find a varicocele that has no symptoms during a physical exam and advise you how to avoid discomfort, particularly if you’re not worried about fertility.
