Warning, Do Not Have Varicocele Surgery Until You Read This​

Image
Varicocele Surgery is Not a Cure. You do not return to a normal/healthy baseline post-surgery. Cutting out (ligating) swollen veins is Not curing them, and it does Not address the root-cause of the disease. Adding metal coils or synthetic foams into varicose veins is also Not curing them. Ligation or blockage of veins means fewer veins to circulate blood! Surgical results are questionable, and embolization results are even more questionable. Only 6-14% of those who undergo surgery attain a fertility benefit (that is 1 in 7 men! Not 95%.) Varicocele surgery is ineffective for pain relief. Surgery is a high risk procedure (you're more likely to experience negative side-effect than a benefit!) ​Varicocele severity increases if left untreated, but, this does not mean that surgery is the right treatment option.  Many meta-analysis (combined results from many scientific studies) have found that varicocelectomy and embolization  do Not produce statistically signif...

3 Great Resources for Treating Varicocele Pain!

For most men, varicocele pain relief is actually very easy if you follow the right treatments. I recommend the following resources: Varicocele Pain Relief Blog https://www.varicocelehealing.com/varicocele-pain-treatment Varicocele pain is caused by toxic blood pooling in the testicular veins.

Varicocele - Surgery vs. Lifestyle!

What causes testicular varicocele?

Image
What causes varicocele? Unlikely to be "genetically faulty" valves. Nutcracker syndrome causing varicocele. The popular belief is that faulty vein valves disrupt normal blood flow and pool blood in the pampiniform plexus veins, stretching them and causing varicocele to develop. However, this is a very old and outdated theory. Since then, many advancements have been made to varicocele theory; scientists have found many other explanations for varicocele development. These explanations mainly involve increase in blood pressure, impairment of blood flow, and impaired healing. Therefore, contrary to the popular belief, varicocele is a complex and multidimensional disorder, and there are many risk-increasing factors for its development. Do not buy into the idea that varicocele is a genetic disorder! You are not born with malfunctioning valves. Rather, your valves function fine, however, after they are put under excessive stress, they begin to “malfunction”. That sounds like lifesty...

How Does Varicocele Affect You? What are the Side Effects?

Image
Pooled blood in the varicocele (testicular veins) damages the veins and testicle by causing vein swelling and hypersensitivity, heat stress, hyper-hydration, oxidation, toxin build-up, hypoxia, and impaired nutrient exchange. The major side effects of varicocele are pain, decreased fertility, scrotal sag, testicular shrinkage, and impaired testosterone. Many men also experience some of the following symptoms: Embarrassment, gynecomastia, stress and anxiety, erectile dysfunction, weak or quickly lost erections, low sex drive, decreased masculinity, low motivation, reduced muscle tone, infertility, increased estrogen, and an enlarged prostate.

Embolization & Varicocelectomy "High Rate of Success".

Image
#Varicocelectomy "High Rate of Success". “High Rate of Success”: Here is something that I find absurd: Many infertile couples are advised that surgery has a “high rate of success”, and they go for it thinking that they’ll have a successful pregnancy. But, really, they’re ill-advised. It’s important to ask “success at what?” Turns out that the word “success” has absolutely nothing to do with pregnancy—it simply means that the procedure was successful at removing the veins without causing major damage. Now, imagine telling that to an infertile couple who are have committed to dish out $15,000, and undergo the surgical risks—with their main goal being successful pregnancy... Here is the correction again: The best results for surgery state that for every 7 men who undergo surgery, only 1 additional pregnancy is attained. That’s 14%. The natural conception rate of infertile couples over a year is 34%, with varicocele surgery, these same couples will have a 37% to 38% chance of suc...
