The Common Cause of Male Infertility, Varicocele, Can Be Treated.
MTV IR offers effective treatments for scrotal varicocele, a common cause of male infertility.
A varicocele refers to abnormal vein enlargement in the scrotum. Varicocele is basically the same as varicose veins, which occur when the valves inside the veins stop working properly and, as a result, blood flows the wrong way down the body instead of back to the heart. Varicoceles only develop in the scrotum, and they occur in about 15% of adult men and 20% of teenage boys.
How is male infertility diagnosed?
Varicoceles cause reduced sperm production and poor quality sperm, with the result that infertility can develop. MTV IR will examine you to see if a varicocele can be seen or felt. In addition Doppler ultrasound technology is often used to detect unseen varicoceles that are deeper in the testicle. Once you have a diagnosis, you and your doctor will choose a treatment modality.
