- Varicocele Embolization
Varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of veins within the scrotum and is a common cause of male infertility, testicular pain, and discomfort. It can affect sperm quality and hormone levels if left untreated.
Varicocele embolization is a safe, minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that closes abnormal veins using image-guided techniques, improving blood flow and alleviating symptoms.
A detailed clinical evaluation and imaging assessment is performed to confirm the diagnosis and plan a personalized embolization procedure.
Varicocele embolization is performed by Dr. Ankit Shah (MD, FNVIR), Consultant Interventional Radiologist, using advanced imaging guidance to ensure precision, safety, and optimal outcomes with minimal discomfort.
