 If you have been diagnosed with a varicocele, you have more treatment options than you may have been told about. A revolutionary newer procedure called "varicocele embolization" is a non-surgical alternative to painful varicocele surgery.
Surgery for Varicoceles Is Not Required Anymore
Varicocele embolization has been successful at eliminating varicoceles for thousands of men, and can have you back to your active lifestyle in only a few days. Many men choose this non-surgical alternative because it does not involve general anesthesia, incisions in the scrotum, or sutures.
Consider All Your Options
 If you have been told that only the traditional open surgery can correct a varicocele, take the time to learn about this high-tech treatment alternative. Varicocele embolization has been shown to be as effective as surgey, but is safer, less painful, and allows much more rapid return to normal activities. In 2008 ,surgery for varicocele should be unnecessary for the vast majority of men.
The interventional radiologists of VIR have created this site to educate men and couples about varicocele embolization, and help people make an informed decision. Before you schedule traditional open surgery of your scrotal area, get a second opinion, and find out if varicocele embolization is right for you. If your doctor is unfamiliar with embolization, you may download a document for him in the Physician Information section of this site.
