Varicocele is one of the causes that can affect male fertility by causing an increase in testicle temperatures or also due to accumulation of toxins that are not drained correctly. However, this is not a barrier to fulfilling the dream of being parents. Today we will explain what varicocele is and we will present you with solutions to have a healthy baby at home.

What is varicocele?

Basically it’s ½of the dilation of the veins of the old pampiliform of testicular veins that drain the venous blood flow from the testicle into the abdomen and this drainage is done against gravity, in such a way that dilations can occur due to accumulation of blood in this complex venous, clarify theDr. Ricardo Rueda, Reprotec Specialist

Being clear about the concept, Dr. Rueda adds that it can be unilateral or bilateral but more frequently it appears on the left side since the sperm vein of this part drains perpendicular towards the renal vein and can become one of the causes of infertility in the men, as long as measures are not taken, due to an increase in the temperatures of the testicles or the accumulation of toxins that do not drain effectively at an expected speed in the bloodstream of the renal vein and therefore, results in an involvement in the spermatogenic function or to the “factory of spermatozoa” of the testicle.

³It is common belief that varicocele surgery reverses this situation, it is not always the case. Varicocele can symptomatic, the sensation of pain and pressure testicular or completely asymptomatic, being discovered as part of the infertility investigation when abnormalities are detected in the examination of the semen or in the spermogram”, says our specialist Ricardo Rueda. which makes it clear that it must be guided by professionals who know how to distinguish in a timely and ideal way which is the fertility treatment indicated for your specific case.

The American Society of Reproductive Medicine and Urology do not recommend varicocele surgery or varicocelectomy. Why?

According to Dr. Rueda’s statements, this surgical procedure does not reverse sperm alterations in the short term as it is reserved for patients without immediate desire for fertility who are symptomatic who have pain or sensation of testicular pressure, ³But the varicocelectomy indicated to improve the parameters of the spermogram is something that should no longer be recommended to patients. If there is an important alteration in the parameters of the study of the semen, whether in the concentration, vitality, morphology or in the mobility of the sperm, the best sperm training and recovery techniques should be offered.”, Dr. Rueda reiterates.
