View ProfileVaricocele is a condition where the veins in the scrotum, the pouch that holds the testicles, become enlarged and twisted, similar to varicose veins in the legs. This can lead to decreased sperm production and quality, potentially affecting male fertility. Here at Meerut Urologist, our team of experienced urologist, led by Dr. Shaleen Sharma and Dr. Sarat Chandra Garg, understands the challenges of varicocele and offers advanced treatment options like varicocele microsurgery to improve fertility outcomes.
Varicoceles are a relatively common condition, affecting up to 15% of men. The exact cause of varicoceles is unknown, but it's believed to be related to malfunctioning valves within the veins that prevent blood from properly flowing out of the scrotum.

Our urologist at Meerut Urologist will conduct a thorough evaluation to diagnose varicocele. This evaluation often involves:
Detailed medical history: Discussing symptoms, fertility concerns, and any past medical conditions.
Physical examination: A gentle examination of the scrotum to feel for enlarged veins.
Scrotal ultrasound: An ultrasound uses sound waves to visualize the scrotum and confirm the presence and size of varicoceles.
Varicocele microsurgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for treating varicoceles, a condition where the veins in the scrotum enlarge. This can impair sperm production and quality, potentially affecting male fertility.
