Some varicoceles will go by own and some causes symptoms, needs to be diagnosed and treatment. Some of the symptoms of varicoceles are :

The varicoceles will be treated with advanced procedures in radiology called vascular percutaneous embolization. This procedure requires only local anesthesia.


A needle or catheter is used to insert in the groin and with the help of ultrasound or X-ray, the enlarged veins are treated. The dilated veins are blocked with small metallic coils and liquid embolizing drugs, which interrupts the blood flow and repairs the varicoceles.
