Varicocele embolisation
A varicocele is an abnormality in the veins that take blood away from the testicle. The veins become bigger and more obvious like varicose veins in the legs. Embolisation is a way of blocking these veins, making them less obvious and causing the varicocele to disappear, without an operation.
