About Varicocele

A varicocele is a dilation of the veins around the testicle that can affect male fertility and cause discomfort or pain. At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, we offer modern surgical solutions for the treatment of varicocele, aiming to improve our patients’ reproductive health and quality of life.

About varicocele

A varicocele occurs when the valves in the veins of the spermatic cord, which carry blood from the testicles back to the heart, don’t function properly. This leads to blood pooling and vein dilation, most commonly on the left side.

1
Discomfort or testicular pain

Especially after intense physical activity or prolonged standing.

2
Swelling or changes in scrotal appearance

Dilated veins may become visible.

3
Fertility problems

Varicocele can affect sperm production and quality.

When is surgery needed?

Surgical treatment is recommended when:

The patient experiences persistent pain or discomfort.

The varicocele is associated with infertility.

The affected testicle shows signs of atrophy (shrinking in size).

How is varicocele treated?

At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, varicocele surgery—called varicocelectomy—is performed using modern techniques tailored to each patient.

1
Laparoscopic varicocelectomy
  1. A minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions in the abdomen.
  2. Using a laparoscope (a small camera), the surgeon identifies and seals the affected veins.
  3. Advantages: rapid recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced pain.
2
Percutaneous embolization
  1. A non-surgical procedure performed by a radiologist, using a catheter to block the affected veins.
  2. An alternative for patients who cannot undergo general anesthesia.
3
Classical varicocelectomy
  1. The surgeon accesses the spermatic cord through a small inguinal incision and ligates the dilated veins.
  2. Ideal for preserving nerves and lymphatic vessels.

How to prepare for surgery

1. Preoperative tests

Undergo preoperative tests, including semen analysis and scrotal Doppler ultrasound.

2. Medications & allergies

Inform the doctor about any medications or allergies.

3. Food & liquids

Avoid eating or drinking for 8 hours before the procedure (if performed under general anesthesia).

Recovery after varicocelectomy

Recovery after varicocelectomy

Recovery time is generally short, and most patients can return to normal activities within a few days.

1. Length of hospitalization
Most procedures are performed as same-day surgery.
2. Avoiding intense physical activity
Heavy lifting and strenuous movements should be avoided for 2–4 weeks.
3. Pain management
Postoperative discomfort is mild and can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
4. Monitoring symptoms
Contact your doctor if you experience fever, redness, or other signs of infection.

Benefits of varicocele surgery

Improved fertility

Sperm production and quality significantly increase in most cases after surgery.

Reduced pain

Prevention of complications
