Angiographic occlusion for varicocele

Angiographic occlusion is a minimally invasive treatment for varicocele. It works by blocking the veins that are not working properly so that blood can flow through healthy veins instead. This helps reduce swelling, discomfort, and other symptoms - and it does not require surgery on the scrotum.

This chapter contains general information about angiographic occlusion for varicoceles. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider for guidance on your individual medical situation.
